I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Laura Barisoni, MD, as Chief of Renal Pathology in the Department of Pathology. Dr. Barisoni is an outstanding renal pathologist who joined the faculty of the Department of Pathology on October 1, 2018.  In addition to being an accomplished diagnostic pathologist, Dr. Barisoni is an established leader in the area of digital nephropathology and the use of digital image recognition as a diagnostic tool, particularly for glomerular diseases.  She serves as a co-director of the Division of Artificial Intelligence and Computational Pathology in our department and has a joint appointment in the Department of Medicine, where she collaborates with colleagues in the Division of Nephrology.  Dr. Barisoni was the President of the Renal Pathology Society in 2019.  Please join me in congratulating Dr. Barisoni.

We wish to thank Dr. David Howell for having devoted decades of his career in directing the renal pathology service. We are fortunate that Dr. Howell will continue to serve as the Senior Vice Chair and Chair of the Appointment, Promotion and Tenure Committee while also providing diagnostic services in renal pathology and transplantation pathology.
