Gulisa Turashvili

Assistant Professor at University of Toronto

Dr. Turashvili obtained her MD degree at Tbilisi State Medical University (Georgia) and PhD degree (Pathology) at Palacky University (Czech Republic). After several years of research at University of British Columbia under Dr. Aparicio from 2009 to 2011 (Vancouver, BC), she completed residency training in Anatomical Pathology at Queen`s University (Kingston, ON), and two years of fellowship training in Breast and Gynecologic Pathology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York, NY). Dr. Turashvili joined the staff of Mount Sinai Hospital and the faculty of the University of Toronto in 2018.
