My areas of interest are Cytopathology and Endocrine Pathology, particularly Adrenal Pathology. In the practice of cytopathology, I perform fine needle aspiration biopsies, which are minimally invasive, fast and accurate, and permit the immediate assessment of the specimen adequacy and rapid diagnosis, along with the preparation of suitable materials for molecular investigations. These parts of my work give me high satisfaction since I am in direct contact with the patients, and I understand their appreciation for the pathologist's work. On the other hand, colleagues’ physicians also appreciate a rapid and complete answer to their questions for informed treatment decisions.
