Biography

Dr. Adebowale Adeniran is an experienced surgical pathologist and cytopathologist, and currently Director of Cytopathology and the Cytology Laboratory and Director of Cytopathology Fellowship Program. Dr. Adeniran obtained his MD degree from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. He did his anatomic/clinical pathology residency at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, followed by surgical pathology fellowship (with special interest in genitourinary pathology) at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and cytopathology fellowship at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Dr. Adeniran is a practicing surgical and cyto pathologist, with a research focus on clinico-pathologic and molecular pathologic aspects of kidney cancer as well as thyroid cancer. He is an editorial board member of Cancer Cytopathology and Journal of Clinical and Translational Pathology, and a reviewer of several peer-reviewed journals. He has authored more than 130 manuscripts and book chapters, and co-authored two textbooks - Common Diagnostic Pitfalls in Thyroid Cytopathology and Rapid On-site Evaluation (ROSE): A Practical Guide. He currently serves as a member of the education committee of the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology.

Clinical Care

Overview

Adebowale Adeniran, MD, is a pathologist who specializes in diagnosing diseases of the genitourinary system (reproductive and urinary organs). He identifies kidney, prostate, and bladder cancers from patients’ biopsies. Dr. Adeniran also specializes in diagnosing thyroid diseases and cancer.

“The principal role of the pathologist is to provide an accurate diagnosis of a patient’s condition, which allows the physician to refine treatment options,” he says. “Pathologists and physicians work together to toward providing the best patient care.”

Dr. Adeniran decided to pursue pathology as a specialty during an academic fellowship at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. “I saw the impact pathologists could have in terms treatment for patients by the diagnoses they made,” he says.

As director of the cytopathology and cytology labs at Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Adeniran oversees those daily operations and provides guidance to medical students and residents who are completing their training after medical school.

At the medical school, Dr. Adeniran is associate professor of pathology. In his research, he investigates the basic biology behind a cancer called papillary renal cell carcinoma and also works to better understand the molecular underpinnings of thyroid cancer.
