DEPARTMENT OF PATHOLOGY DIVISIONS Molecular Anatomic Pathology Yuri Nikiforov, M.D., Ph.D., Director This new Division of Molecular Anatomic Pathology (MAP) will oversee existing and new molecular diagnostic tests based on tissue sections. It will work in close collaboration with the Division of Molecular Diagnostics to share techniques, know-how and planning for the future. The MAP section will be using molecular techniques to analyze gene expression patterns and genomic alterations in tissue sections in order to provide useful diagnostic information, especially to Oncology groups. The MAP lab is of key importance for developing opportunities for translational research to other members of the Department.
