Pei Hui PhD, MD
Associate Professor of Pathology and of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences; Director, Clinical Molecular Diagnostics; Director, Gynecologic Pathology
Research Interests
GYN Pathology; Molecular Diagnostics
Research Summary
Dr. Hui's academic interests primarily focus on clinical and biological aspects of human neoplasia. Using molecular and genetic approaches, he has active research collaborations with clinical oncologists and basic science investigators in exploring the pathogenesis of several fascinating gynecological tumors including Type II endometrial carcinomas and gestational trophoblastic diseases. As medical director of the Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory, he has been exploring molecular methods in facilitating routine histological evaluations of neoplastic processes including lymphomas, translocation specific sarcomas and common solid tumors.
