UroPathology

Introduction

Maria Merino, M.D.

Slide 1:

Thank you, Marston.

I hope you all understand that I came to NIH when I was very, very, very young.

When Dr. Linehan mentioned to me that he would like to include a pathologist in this meeting, I thought it was fantastic. And we, together, concluded that we needed a pathologist that had ample experience in the field of general urological pathology. We wanted a pathologist that had made significant and important contributions to advance the field.

And I also mentioned that it has to be an excellent speaker, but also very entertaining, since he was going to be talking to clinicians. Immediately, a name came to us, that it had to be Dr. Victor Reuter.

Dr. Reuter is the director of surgical pathology at Memorial Hospital, and has dedicated most of his career to study the pathology of all the urological processes. He is also very, very entertaining when he speaks, and on top of that, he is a very dear friend.
