Research Interests:

- Molecular marker usage in Cytopathology
My current interests include usage of molecular markers in Fine needle aspiration and cervical cytology specimens for further characterization of neoplastic lesions. I am currently working on metastatic squamous cell carcinoma from oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal primary tumors for detection of HPV, utilizing HPV in-situ hybridization and immunohistochemical techniques.

Clinical Focus:

I am the Director of Cytopathology and also the Director of Cytopathology Fellowship Training Program for Emory University Hospitals. My clinical focus involves academic and administrative responsibilities related to the Cytopathology Laboratory, Fine needle aspiration service, resident and fellow teaching and participating in the Anatomic Pathology lecture series for residents and fellows.
