Sergio Pina-Oviedo, MD, has joined Duke Pathology as an Assistant Professor. Prior to his pathology residency, he conducted four years of research in neurovirology, viral oncology and molecular biology at the Center for Neurovirology at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He then completed his AP/CP residency at Houston Methodist Hospital and did fellowships in oncologic surgical pathology (Chief Fellow) and hematopathology at The University of Texas – M. D.
