Robarts Clinical Trials - Advanced Histopathology Fellowship (Gastroenterology)
Opening for 2019-2020
COMPANY SUMMARY:
Robarts Clinical Trials (RCT), established in 1986, is a specialty contract research organization focused in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and digestive disease research.
JOB SUMMARY:
Specific areas of research interest include: organizational aspects of clinical trials, clinical trial design, validation of central reading algorithms, development and validation of IBD scoring systems, evaluation and critical appraisal of outcome measures, index development, development and validation of prediction models and precision medicine projects.
RCT is now offering a fellowship opportunity in histopathology to further support histopathological index development and validation, quantitative digital pathology including development and validation of artificial intelligence (AI)-tools, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. The fellow will have a dual affiliation with Robarts Clinical Trials and the Mayo Clinic in Arizona under the supervision of Dr. Rish K. Pai.
Completion of a successful fellowship will lead to an advanced understanding of the application of histopathology in drug development as it relates to the field of gastroenterology. Specific topics for a histopathology fellowship can be tailored to the candidate's interest, availability of material and industry collaborations. Possible topics include assessing the operating properties of histological scoring systems in Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), evaluating the impact of number and location of biopsies on histological endpoints, or developing a novel histopathology index for CD. The fellowship could also focus on the role of immunohistochemistry in clinical drug development, alongside histopathology, endoscopy, patient reported outcomes and clinical pharmacology to provide better insights in the mechanism of action of small and large molecules. Robarts' recent expansion into the fields of eosinophilic esophagitis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis provides additional areas in which to focus.
QUALIFICATIONS:
• M.D., or Ph.D with experience in the field of pathology/translational medicine

autopsies. Our clinical laboratory performs approximately 900,000 tests annually, including
chemistry, genetic metabolic, hematology and microbiological tests. Our molecular assays target
infectious and non-infectious diseases, ranging from selected genetic disorders to
pharmacogenomics. Fellows regularly present at and participate in several multidisciplinary
tumor boards, M&M conferences, and other clinical conferences in junction with a broad range
of clinical programs. Fellows are encouraged to participate in clinical, translational, or basic
science research and have access to the resources of the division-supervised histology, imaging,
and tissue bank core laboratories at the affiliated Children’s Research Institute.
Completion of an ACGME-accredited AP or AP/CP pathology residency program prior to the
beginning of the training is a requirement. Qualified applicants should send letter of inquiry, CV
and personal statement to:

The Department of Pathology is offering a one year ACGME-accredited Cytopathology Fellowship designed to provide comprehensive training in diagnostic cytopathology, particularly the immediate evaluation, triage and final diagnosis of Fine Needle Aspirations (FNAs). The cytology laboratory evaluates approximately 25,000 gynecologic and 6,000 non-gynecologic specimens, of which 2,500 are FNAs, per year. Fellows will become proficient in laboratory management, quality systems, LEAN analysis, diagnostics; including the performance and interpretation of FNAs and new technologies; including the ThinPrep Pap Test, HPV-DNA testing, and medical informatics. The cytopathology section utilizes video streaming from remote locations for immediate evaluation of FNAs. This cutting edge experience provides fellows with comprehensive training in the new technologies benefiting cytopathology today. Fellows also receive training in ultrasound-guided FNAs of the thyroid, providing them with a procedural skill useful in any future practice. The department has a strong academic mission, and provides opportunities for cytology-based research, including molecular diagnostics. Fellows will participate in the education of residents and medical students on cytology rotations.
Educational opportunities exist for rotation at the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (including evaluating its large volume of gynecologic specimens, spending time in the cytogenetics laboratory, and teaching in the School of Cytotechnology). Fellows are expected to complete a research project for publication. Upon completion, the fellow will be prepared to direct a university or community-based practice cytopathology laboratory.
Applicants must be AP or AP/CP Board eligible or Board certified.
Stipends are commensurate with the year of post-graduate training (e.g. $63,947 for PGY5; $66,114 for PGY6, based on 2014-15 stipends).
Please send cover letter with application (download here), personal statement, CV and three letters of recommendation (including one from your Cytopathology laboratory director) to:
