<p>Javier Ariel Laurini, MD, is Associate Professor, Pathology at Montefiore Einstein. Dr. Laurini's clinical focus is on the study of tissue to diagnose inflammatory and neoplastic diseases of the breast, gynecologic tract and bone and soft tissues.</p>
<p>After earning his Doctor of Medicine in 1995 from the University Of Salvador, School Of Medicine in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Dr. Laurini completed a residency in anatomic pathology in 1999 at the Center of Medical Education and Clinical Investigations (CEMIC) in Buenos Aires. Following this, he completed a three-month internship in hematopathology service at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Laurini became Administrative Chief Resident in the department of pathology at CEMIC for one year before completing a surgical pathology fellowship at British Hospital in Buenos Aires in 2002. He then became a visiting clinician in the Department of Pathology, Mayo Clinic in Rochester before undergoing a combined anatomic and clinical pathology residency at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine, which he completed in 2010. Dr. Laurini then finished a fellowship in surgical pathology at the Mayo Clinic in 2011 before completing another fellowship in hematopathology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 2012.</p>
<p>Dr. Laurini's research focus follows his clinical interests in breast and gynecologic pathology. His work has been published in numerous original communications and peer-reviewed journals, articles and abstracts.</p>
<p>Dr. Laurini is board certified in Hematology and Anatomic and Clinical Pathology by the American Board Of Pathology. He is a Fellow of the College of American Pathologists and the American Society of Clinical Pathologists, and a member of the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology. He is also part of the Mayo Clinic Alumni Association. Dr. Laurini has won multiple faculty teaching awards from the University of South Alabama and Wake Forest School of Medicine. In 2022 he won the Attending Teaching Award from Einstein.</p>
