Press Room
Periodically, this section will offer news about the Department of Pathology. You can also find our previous departmental news announcements listed by year and collected under past press releases in this section. Individual press releases will focus on interesting developments from our research labs, on patents and discoveries, on recent outstanding publications, on special recognition of Department members for awards granted or honors received, and on other newsworthy information. We aim to share important news items that are not only of interest to the larger NYU Langone medical community and pathologists everywhere, but that will also help the general public understand and appreciate the achievements of the people in our Department.
