Poonam Vohra, MD
Research and Clinical Interests
My clinical interest is mainly in cytopathology including exfoliative and aspiration cytology. I perform and interpret fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies. I am also actively involved in general pathology sign out. My research interests include the areas of cytology and breast pathology. I am performing a large retrospective study which includes correlation of immunohistochemical techniques between FNAB cytology and histology and molecular events in breast neoplasia.
