I earned my B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Georgetown University, Washington, D.C. , and my M.D. from U.C. S.D. School of Medicine.  I then came to Mount Sinai School of Medicine (now Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai) for an internship and residency in Pathology, followed by a Fellowship in GYN Pathology.  I then joined the Department of Pathology staff, and am currently Associate Professor and Director of GYN Pathology.  Our long-term research goal is to improve the treatment paradigm for gynecologic cancers – to identify those predictive and prognostic markers that would enable us to design optimal, individualized therapy for every woman who develops a gynecologic malignancy.
