I am a surgical pathologist with clinical expertise in cytopathology and genitourinary pathology. I received my MD at Iran University of Medical Sciences. I completed my anatomic and clinical pathology residency training at Hofstra North Shore-LIJ Pathology Residency Program at Lenox Hill Hospital, followed by cytopathology training at The Leopold G. Koss Division of Cytology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center. I started faculty at the University of Rochester Medical Center before relocating to Columbia University. I have published several peer-reviewed articles in pathology.
