  • To train residents, fellows, medical students and cytotechnologists in diagnostic cytopathology
  • To support and incorporate advanced diagnostic techniques to improve diagnostic accuracy
  • To pioneer new molecular techniques to increase the amount of information obtained from the minimal amounts of tissues received in the routine specimen
