Biography
I received my Doctor of Medicine degree from the School of Medicine, University of Tehran, Iran (1981). My anatomic & Clinical pathology residency was done at Mt Sinai Medical Center/Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio (1994), followed by a Hematopathology Fellowship with one additional research-year fellowship at City of Hope National Medical center in Duarte, California (1997).
Personal Statement
I am board certified in anatomic and clinical pathology, hematopathology, and molecular genetic pathology. My current academic practice includes teaching of pathology residents, fellows and medical students and sign out of in-house and consultation cases in hematopathology and molecular genetic pathology. In my molecular pathology sign out service, I enjoy the integration of morphology with genetic data and delivery of a comprehensive pathology report that provides diagnostic, prognostic and molecular targeted therapies that are essential in critical patient care decision making. I also serve as Program Director of Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship at UNM, School of Medicine.
