Dr Downes is lead Genitourinary pathologist and Division Head of Anatomic Pathology at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and an Associate Professor in Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology at the University of Toronto. She is actively engaged in teaching at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. Her research interests are in prognostic and predictive biomarkers of urologic malignancy, particularly in prostate and bladder, with a focus on immune infiltrates and determinants of therapeutic response. She is also engaged in collaborative work examining radiology-pathology correlation and pre-clinical prostate cancer research.
Objectives:
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify and approach gross specimens
- Describe common gross abnormalities
- Develop differential diagnosis
The session covers several high yield topics in medical biochemistry. The target audience would be general pathology residents who are through the biochemistry rotations and prior writing the Royal college exams. The session will be of value to all pathology residents or practicing pathologists who are setting their career goal as a general laboratory physician or medical laboratory director in community hospitals in the future.
