Autopsy pathology, ophthalmic pathology, image cytometry. Autopsies are available to non-Duke physicians.
Research Interests
My research interests include: 1) the pathology and genesis of diseases affecting the eye and adjacent structures; 2) developing and validating tests to diagnose, predict prognosis, and tailor therapy in patients with cancer; and 3) the effect of cardiopulmonary bypass and glycogen storage diseases on the heart.
This physician has no reported relationships with industry.
