The nature of underlying disease states can often be detected by microscopically visualizing histologic changes in biopsy specimens.

Dr Schreiber believes teaching to be his signature achievement.Ĭytopathology & Histopathology – Analysis of disaggregated tissue specimens Schreibe r and after a long illustrious career teaching cytopathology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, he was awarded the title of Emeritus Professor of Pathology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Schreiber became a consultant to PapNet (an AI based scanning system for gynecologic smears), and then helped teach/build the CDx Diagnostics/WATS 3D neural net. Koss and others collected cytological images from smears to teach and construct a neural net. Schreiber was the director of cytopathology at Montefiore Medical Center, including the Albert I. Several years later the findings of this study (1.7/1000 years) were confirmed by the Women's Health Study which consists of long-term surveillance of 175,000 US women.ĭr. In 1984, his studies of cytological material derived from endometrial abrasions in 4,000 asymptomatic women established the first known incidence statistics for occult endometrial carcinoma and precursors. Koss became colleagues authoring numerous studies on the cytologic precursors to cancer. In addition to routine anatomic and clinical case responsibilities, she was also involved in Quality Assurance and Quality control programs, CAP inspections, Cancer Committee, Tissue Committee and Credentialing Committee. Dorai worked as a research associate in a molecular biology laboratory at Rockefeller University, New York and in a protein chemistry laboratory in Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York. Her work experience includes Lincoln Medical and Mental health center, Bronx, NY, Saint Michael’s Medical Center, Newark, New Jersey and Montefiore-Nyack Hospital, New York. Her Cytopathology fellowship was done in Westchester County Medical Center, New York. She completed her residency in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology in New York Medical College affiliated hospitals, which includes Metropolitan hospital and Lincoln Hospital Medical and Mental Health Center in New York.
