Teaching

I teach in the general area of neoplasia and development. In particular, I teach in the M2 Pathology course the basic principles of neoplasia, to prepare medical students for the systems based study of neoplasia and malignancy. I teach a more concentrated content of the basics of neoplasia to Scholl students in the Scholl Pathology course.

In addition, I offer several electives with a concentration in neoplasia and malignancy. This includes a course that I direct, "Molecular Pathology of Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy", in which I present 6 lectures on the current molecular basis of the most common cancers. The material we cover is intended to solidify basic principles of neoplasia, and provide the molecular background for molecular diagnosis and treatment strategies as they are used in the clinic today.

Students may also participate in MPAT 630 Pathology Literature Review for further literature searches and discussions on a focused area of the molecular basis of cancer diagnosis and treatment. For students with experience in laboratory techniques, I also offer an opportunity in MPAT 622 Special Projects in Pathology. Typically students who have worked with me in the laboratory during the summer prior to the M2 year qualify for this course.

I offer several lectures in my areas of expertise: apoptosis, genomic instability and microRNAs. I provide instruction for these in the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, as well as in the Department of Microbiology.
