Precision Molecular Pathology of Aggressive B-Cell Lymphomas

Dr. Genevieve M. Crane is a hematopathologist at the Cleveland Clinic, also serving as Medical Director of Manual Hematology and Associate Medical Director of the Immunohistochemistry Lab.  She completed her undergraduate work at Rice University in chemical engineering, followed by a Marshall Scholarship at University College London. She pursued MD and PhD degrees at the University of Michigan as part of the Medical Scientist Training Program, where her graduate work in Cell and Molecular Biology was recognized by a Harold Weintraub Award as one of the most outstanding in the country. She completed residency training at Johns Hopkins Hospital in anatomic pathology and a fellowship in hematopathology. She has more than 60 peer-reviewed publications, has authored two prior textbooks, Survival Guide to Lymph Node Pathology (Innovative Science Press, 2021) and Biopsy Interpretation of the Bone Marrow (Wolters Kluwer, 2023), and multiple book chapters. She is invited to speak nationally and internationally based on her expertise. She serves on multiple editorial boards including as a Section Editor for Hematopathology at Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and Deputy Editor-in-Chief PathologyOutlines.com. She is passionate about pathology education and outreach, including through multiple pathology organizations. 
Dr. Sanam Loghavi completed her MD degrees at Azad University of Medical Sciences in Tehran Iran followed by AP/CP residency training at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA. She completed fellowships in surgical pathology, hematopathology and molecular pathology at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston Texas, where she is currently on staff as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Hematopathology and the director of the Leukemia Tissue Bank and Leukemia Translational Research Laboratory at the Department of Translational Molecular Pathology at MDACC. She has more than 80 peer-reviewed publications and multiple book chapters. She serves regularly as a speaker and session chair at national and international pathology meetings with focus on hematopathology and molecular pathology topics. Dr. Loghavi also serves as a member of the International Clinical Cytometry Society Education Committee and as an Editorial Intern for Lab Medicine journal
