With the challenge of putting together pieces of information to see the big picture of diagnostic process, research and clinical trials, Dr. Sadimin views her work in urological pathology and pathology informatics as merging her passions for medicine, technology and solving puzzles. Collaborating with physicians and scientists at City of Hope and at other institutions around the world, she contributes to improvement of quality of care, quality of life and outcomes for cancer patients.
 
Dr. Sadimin pursued her medical training at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. At Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, she received fellowship training in pathology informatics and residency training in anatomical and clinical pathology, during which she served as chief resident. She subsequently completed a fellowship in urological pathology at Johns Hopkins University.
 
She has great interest in the latest cutting-edge technology and is excited to help lead the digital transformation in pathology, cultivating progress through image analysis and artificial intelligence. As part of the urologic oncology team, her clinical work focuses on cancers of the prostate, bladder, kidney, testis, penis, urethra, and adrenal gland.
