Research Description
I do translational research in lung cancer diagnosis and pathogenesis, the immunopathology of infections and autoimmune lung diseases, and cytopathologic diagnosis.
Clinical Description
I practice Anatomic Pathology, with special interest in lung diseases and cytopathology.
At Vanderbilt University Hospital I cover the Thoracic, Heart, and Frozen Section services in Surgical Pathology, and non-GYN and GYN/GU services in Cytopathology.
At the VA I direct the Anatomic Pathology services, where we maintain a general practice in Surgical Pathology and Cytopathology.
