 About Your Organization/Department

• WashU/ Barnes-Jewish Hospital: Lauren Ackerman was Chief of Anatomic Pathology at WashU/Barnes Hospital from 1949 to 1974 and our surg path lab is named the Lauren Ackerman Laboratory of Surgical Pathology, which is also in the heading of our surgical pathology reports.  Many of the traditions he established are still followed here. 

• We currently see about 60,000 surgical pathology cases a year.

• Traveling, reading, bike riding. 
• Traveling to and speaking at medical meetings, and then spending extra time exploring (in places like Hawaii!) is a favorite activity. 
• There is excellent bike riding along the Katy Trail in Missouri, which is an old converted railroad track that is one of the longest in the nation, extending 237 miles across the state of Missouri.  Outside St. Louis, where I ride, the trail runs along limestone bluffs next to the Missouri River, and through forests, farmland, and meadows.
