Dr. Fuller is actively engaged in patient care as Chief of the Neuropathology Service, and also has an active research program centered on mechanisms of glioma progression and invasion and molecular classification of brain tumors, for which he received the Lucian J. Rubinstein Award in 2000. He is an Editorial Board member of ten scientific journals, and is the current President of the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP) for 2011-2012. Dr. Fuller has published over 200 peer-reviewed scientific research papers, 50 book chapters, and two textbooks: Practical Review of Neuropathology, which he co-authored with Dr. J. Clay Goodman, and Genomic and Molecular Neuro-Oncology, which he co-edited with Dr. Wei Zhang.
