A Conversation with Dr. Domenick Falcone, Assistant Dean of the Foundational Curriculum, and Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. Domenick J. Falcone, Ph.D.Assistant Dean of the Foundational CurriculumProfessor of Pathology and Laboratory MedicineQ: I understand that as an undergraduate biology major, you took a course in histology that changed the trajectory of your career. Can you please elaborate on that?A: Histology was taught by an energetic professor, who displayed an encyclopedic command of the subject material. Her simple hand drawn diagrams helped me to conceptualize the...

A conversation with Dr. Sanjay Patel, Associate Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine Sanjay Patel, M.D., M.P.H.Associate Professor of Pathology and Laboratory MedicineQ: How did you develop an interest in pathology? Did you always know this is what you wanted to do?A: Not at all. In medical school, I explored nearly every specialty through required and elective rotations—radiology, anesthesiology, oncology. My mom is a pathologist, but pathology wasn't encouraged or visible in medical school. Medicine is often presented as patient-facing work, and pathology...

A conversation with Dr. Ethel Cesarman, Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine. Q: You’re trained in anatomic pathology, hematopathology, and molecular pathology, and serve as Assistant Director of the Molecular Hematopathology Lab at NYP and Weill Cornell. Your research focuses on malignancies linked to AIDS and other immunodeficiencies. Is that accurate?A: Yes—except I didn’t do a formal molecular pathology fellowship as those were implemented after my training. But I had experience doing cancer molecular genetics as part of my PhD research.Ethel Cesarman,...
