Our next speaker in the
Summer Talks: Careers in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine series (Wednesday, August 5th, 11:00 AM), is
Dr. Alexander 'Sandy' Borowsky, M.D., Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, the Center for Immunology & Infectious Diseases, and faculty member of the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Dr. Borowsky is a surgical and molecular pathologist with expertise in cancer diagnostics and model systems for cancer research. His research is primarily focused on human breast cancer and mouse models for this disease with extensive experience in many aspects of experimental pathology and animal models of human disease. He is a translational scientist with expertise in assay development and interpretation in the clinical setting, including radiologic-pathologic image registration and comparative analysis, immunohistochemistry, FISH, and tissue and fixative preparation for conventional and innovative molecular analysis.
Specific areas of interest in Dr. Borowsky's lab include the tumor immune microenvironment, pre-cancer progression and cancer stem cell origins, cancer promoting microenvironments, and regulation of progression and reversion. The lab has a long track record of experimental pathology including interpretation of phenotypes, developmental and cancer, and interpretation of novel immunohistochemical studies, functional imaging technology, image analysis, and data informatics. Additional research interests extend to the development of novel in vivo imaging modalities, and use of these in preclinical and clinical trials.
