Welcome from the Chair

Dr. Shroyer

Members of the Department of Pathology support the tripartite missions of the Renaissance School of Medicine, the Cancer Center and Stony Brook University, to excel in clinical service, education and research. Since our founding in 1971, our national leaders in academic Pathology have included Dr. Arthur Upton (former Director of the National Cancer Institute), Dr. Marvin Kuschner (the founding chair of the Department of Pathology and a pioneer in research of chemical carcinogenesis and cigarette smoking), Dr. Lauren Ackerman (author and founding editor of Ackerman's Surgical Pathology), Dr. Jorge Benach (discoverer of the etiologic agent of Lyme Disease and Professor Emeritus for the Department of Microbiology and Immunology), and Dr. Martha Furie (former President of the American Society for Investigative Pathology, current Editor-in-Chief of The American Journal of Pathology and Director of Stony Brook University’s Graduate Program in Genetics). 

Members of our department are authorities in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology, innovators in graduate student, medical student and resident education, and they engage in high-impact, basic and translational cancer research. The department is both a basic science and a clinical department, and it provides comprehensive service in all aspects of laboratory medicine as well as in surgical pathology and cytopathology. Thus, our faculty members are bridging the gap from bench to bedside research with the goal of improving the effectiveness of clinical diagnosis and medical care for the citizens of New York and the broader community. Click here to Read More
