Anatomic Pathology services at the University of Pittsburgh are oriented around a Center of Excellence model with diagnostic pathologists focused on specific organs of interest. These interests cover all areas of Anatomic Pathology, including Neuropathology, Transplantation Pathology, and Cytopathology.
