Arie Perry, MD
Specialties: Brain and spinal cord tumors
Dr. Perry is a neuropathologist who specializes in the diagnosis of brain and spinal cord tumors. In addition to over 20 years’ experience as a pathologist, Dr. Perry also leads several translational research projects focusing on the development new diagnostic and prognostic markers for gliomas, meningiomas, and primitive pediatric malignancies.
Dr. Perry’s specific research interests include the improvement of tumor classification and grading schemes, as well as the identification of molecular and genetic markers associated with tumorigenesis, malignant progression, and/or biologic behavior. His hope is that identifying new markers will improve patient management and lead to the development of novel therapeutic approaches.
