Senada Koljenovic

Research Expertise:Pathologist-PI with main interest inHead and Neck pathology and Dermatopathology. Research to improve the surgical-pathological communication and correlation of information for better diagnosis, surgical results and patient outcome. International multidisciplinary research network to facilitate design and conduction of multi-center studies. Translational research with focus on applications of Raman spectroscopy-based tools in Head and Neck surgery (Raman-guided surgical resections facilitating safe surgical margins in oral cancer) and in characterisation of pre-neoplasia for its’s early diagnosis. Research on histological, clinical and molecular aspects of pre-neoplasia by conducting an extensive study on histological diagnosis (and classification) of pre-neoplasia in head and neck region and other sites (e.g. vulva). This investigation also involves exploring the potential role of immunohistochemical markers in aiding the diagnosis. Translation research with focus on the diagnosis of ambiguous melanocytic skin lesions by whole genome copy number analysis.
