Program(s): This ACGME-accredited fellowship offers comprehensive training in Molecular Genetic Pathology at the Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), Texas Children's Hospital (TCH; 467 beds), Ben Taub General Hospital (BTGH; 597 beds), and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC). In the Baylor Department of Molecular and Human Genetics, diagnostic laboratory activities will be performed in the DNA Diagnostic Laboratory (BCM, Director, Christine Eng, MD), Cytogenetics Laboratory (BCM, Director, Sau Wai Cheung, PhD, MBA), and Human Genome Center (BCM, Director, Richard Gibbs, PhD). In the Baylor Department of Pathology, rotations will take place in the Molecular Oncology Laboratory (TCH, Director, Dolores Lopez-Terrada, MD, PhD), the Molecular Microbiology Laboratory (TCH, Director, James Versalovic, MD, PhD), Molecular Neuropathology Laboratory (TCH, Director, Adekunle Adesina, MD, PhD), and the Microbiology Laboratory (BTGH, Charles Stager, PhD).

Opportunities for case review and participation with the Departments of Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pediatrics (Hematology-Oncology and Genetics) will be available to enrich the educational experience of the fellow. In addition to diagnostic laboratory activities, fellows will be expected to participate in the Molecular Pathology course for residents/fellows and attend the Human Genetics course in the graduate school. Weekly conferences in pathology and genetics are included in the program. Program Director is Dolores Lopez-Terrada, MD, PhD, Associate Director is Christine Eng, MD.
