 Hematopathology Fellowship Program

Supporting one of the largest bone marrow transplantation programs in the United States, and enjoying an active consultation service, the division evaluates over 3,000 diagnostic specimens involving peripheral blood, bone marrow, lymph node and extranodal tissues. Multiparameter studies are stressed including analyses by morphology, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, cytogenetic and molecular techniques, all supported by active in-house laboratories. Fellows may also participate in clinical and basic research performed within the division.
