Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship
Opening for 2022
Number of appointments per year - 1
Description:
The University of Alabama at Birmingham Departments of Pathology and
Genetics jointly offer a one-year ACGME accredited fellowship in molecular genetic pathology.
The fellowship is designed to train academically oriented pathologists and medical geneticists
for a career in molecular genetic pathology, including hematology/oncology, infectious diseases,
identity testing, molecular diagnostics of Mendelian disorders, cytogenetics, and medical
genetics. After completion of this program, the fellow will be eligible to take the Molecular
Genetic Pathology board examination cosponsored by ABP and ABMMG.
Training includes didactic courses, selected laboratory rotations and an in-depth research
experience. The fellow will gain experience in a broad range of molecular techniques including
nucleic acid extraction and amplification (PCR, RT-PCR, real-time PCR, NASBA, and SDA),
sequencing, capillary electrophoresis, traditional cytogenetics, FISH, microarray and next
generation sequencing technology. Trainees are expected to function as junior attendings and
will be actively involved in test development, performance, preparation of report of sign-out,
participation in clinic/inpatient visits and clinical consultation. Fellows are also exposed to
administrative aspects of directing a modern molecular diagnostics laboratory. Opportunities for
research experience are available in the first and subsequent years.
This program is directed by Shuko Harada, M.D., Associate Professor of Pathology, Interim
Division Director of Genomics and Bioinformatics, and Section Head of Molecular Pathology.
Requirements: Applicants must be AP, CP or AP/CP or medical genetics Board eligible, or
Board certified.
Stipends: Stipends are commensurate with the year of postgraduate training in pathology or
genetics. Also provided is a professional development fund.

Illinois, Northwestern University-Molecular Genetic
Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship
Opening for 2021
We have filled our positions for both 2019-20 and 2020-21. Applications for 2021 - 2022 will be accepted starting in June 2019.
The subspecialty of Molecular Genetic Pathology employs testing of nucleic acids for disease diagnosis, prognosis and selection of therapy. A variety of tests are used for the detection and quantification of mutations in chromosomes, DNA, and RNA in four general areas of disease:
1. Hereditary diseases (e.g., epilepsy)
2. Hematologic malignancies (e.g., leukemia)
3. Solid tumors (e.g., lung cancer)
4. Infectious diseases (e.g., HIV/AIDS)
The fellow will rotate through molecular genetics, cytogentics and microbiology laboratories at Feinberg-affiliated hospitals (Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago) and work with expert faculty who are nationally-recognized in the areas of education, research and patient care.
Education
Our Residency and Fellowship Programs function under the McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University and are primarily based at Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH), which is consistently ranked as the top hospital in Illinois and in the top 10 nationwide. Our Northwestern University based faculty are dedicated to the education and mentorship of our trainees. The MGP fellow will work in a collegial environment with 22 pathology residents and 10 other fellows in which education and training remain the primary focus.
Research
Faculty of Molecular Genetic Pathology conduct research in diverse areas of the specialty and current projects include biomarker discovery in acute myeloid leukemia, mechanisms of prostate cancer metastasis, pathogenesis of African sleeping sickness and Chagas disease, mechanisms of regulation of nuclear receptors, molecular pathogenesis of lung cancer, and estrogen receptor dysregulation in breast cancer. The molecular laboratories provide translational and clinical research support to a variety of Centers and Institutes, including the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University, Northwestern Medicine Developmental Therapeutics Institute, Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Science Institute and NUgene. The MGP fellow will have opportunities to engage in translational and clinical research such as test development and validation in one or more areas.
Patient Care
Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Lurie Children’s Hospital are consistently ranked as the top hospitals in Illinois and among the best in the nation. The MGP faculty provide state-of-the-art testing to clinicians at these and other Feinberg-affiliated care sites for disease diagnosis, prognosis, selection of therapy and patient management.

Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship
Iowa City, Iowa
Openings for 2021-2022 and 2022-2023
Program:
The University of Iowa offers a one-year accredited fellowship in molecular genetic pathology. The fellowship program entails a broad educational experience in both traditional and leading-edge technologies combined with knowledgeable and friendly faculty and staff providing a unique training experience in all areas of molecular pathology. The Molecular Pathology Laboratory serves as the primary site for molecular testing of genetic, infectious and neoplastic diseases from the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics as well as for regional, national and international clients. We have over 50 diagnostic tests utilizing various methods including next generation sequencing by synthesis (Ion Torrent and Illumina systems), qualitative/quantitative PCR, emulsion PCR, and real-time PCR, DNA sequencing, traditional and capillary electrophoresis and Southern blotting. The MGP fellowship includes six months of hands-on training in the Molecular Pathology Laboratory with special emphasis on molecular genetics, infectious disease and oncology. Another three to four months are spent predominantly in the Genetics Division of the Department of Pediatrics. This block includes one month of general genetics, one month of specialty genetics rotations in the cancer center and neurology clinics and one month of cytogenetics training. The Cytogenetics Laboratory will provide exposure to traditional cytogenetics, FISH and Comparative Genomic Hybridization using microarray technology. During these rotations the fellow learns the role of an attending physician, with levels of responsibility and supervision appropriate for the level of training and experience. The fellow is also exposed to administrative and management aspects of directing a molecular diagnostics laboratory. The remaining three months are spent with independent test development in the Molecular Pathology Laboratory or on basic research projects in any one of numerous laboratories associated with the program. The fellows are encouraged to use this time to obtain preliminary data serving as the basis for applications for career development grants from federal and private agencies.
Requirements:
Applications will be accepted from residents who are MD or MD/PhD and have ACGME-accredited residency training in Pathology or Medical Genetics.
Stipends and Benefits:
Commensurate with level of training. The website of the Graduate Medical Education Office (https://gme.medicine.uiowa.edu/) contains specific information regarding stipends and benefits.
