About Dr. Huo
I am a practicing surgical pathologist with over 15 years of clinical experience in the institution. Education is an integral part of my work. In addition to daily teaching to pathology trainees, I have been a faculty member of the surgical pathology fellowship advisory group, surgical pathology fellow lecture evaluation group, fellows' curriculum committee remedial program, and breast pathology fellowship clinical competency committee and program evaluation committee. My research interests include high risk breast lesions, molecular markers in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, among others. I am the lead pathologist in an institutional triple-negative breast cancer clinical trial and a clinical member of the institutional inflammatory breast cancer program. I have worked in multiple research projects as the principle investigator as well as a collaborator to clinical colleagues and basic research scientists.
