Our faculty provide traditional morphological examination which is typically complemented by a sophisticated array of cutting-edge ancillary testing techniques such as immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry and molecular biological techniques. We offer particular expertise in the subspecialties of breast, genitourinary, gynecological, gastrointestinal, dermatological, placental and perinatal pathology. Consultation services, including second-opinions, are provided within these subspecialties.
