Christopher Fletcher
Christopher is Director of Surgical Pathology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and Professor of Pathology at Harvard Medical School. As Chairman of the World Health Organization Working Group for the Classification of Tumors of Soft Tissue and Bone, Christopher has challenged the more traditional aspects of tumor classification and endeavored to extend our knowledge of soft tissue neoplasia at the genetic level. Looking to the future, Christopher says, “We need to reverse the trend of diminishing pathology content in medical school curricula, which is gradually becoming a worldwide problem, to ensure the future supply of high-quality trainees.”
