May is Women in Pathology Month

Each year, the ASIP and Women in Pathology highlight the history of women in the ASIP for their service through leadership, recognition of their exceptional accomplishments as scientists, activities, and events as a community equipping women scientists with strategies to overcome real-life issues.

On each weekday of May, ASIP will highlight one woman in the Society. To help celebrate their exceptional accomplishments, please like, share, express thanks, repost, and forward to colleagues and friends.

Today's Featured Woman in Pathology

Tatianna Larman, MD

Dr. Tatianna (Tasha) Larman is a physician-scientist and Gastrointestinal and Liver Pathologist at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (Baltimore, MD).

Dr. Larman earned her BA from Harvard University (Cambridge, MA) and her MD from UC San Diego School of Medicine (San Diego, CA).

During medical school, she spent two years as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Medical Fellow in the Jonathan and Kricket Seidman laboratory (Boston, MA) studying cancer genomics. She completed an anatomic pathology residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital (Baltimore, MD), during which she spent a year of postdoctoral research in the laboratory of Dr. Rong Li, followed by fellowship training in GI and liver pathology.

Dr. Larman joined the faculty at Johns Hopkins in 2019 and is the current Director of Clinical GI and Liver Pathology. Dr. Larman leads a basic research program focused on microenvironmental and molecular mediators of the normal to neoplastic transition in human colon epithelium. She recently joined the ASIP after encouragement from Dr. Fred Sanfilippo and Dr. Diane Bielenberg (who was a beloved lab bay neighbor at Children’s Hospital Boston long ago). She participates in the Research and Science Policy Committee (RSPC) and looks forward to actively contributing to the Society for years to come.

Beyond the microscope, Dr. Larman is interested in playing guitar, Italian language and culture, baking and cooking, and spending time with her family and friends.
