OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Susanne K. Jeffus is an Associate Professor of Pathology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Medicine, where she also serves as the Pathology Residency Program Director. She holds board certifications in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology, with subspecialty certifications in Cytopathology and Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine.

Her research focuses on the interpretation of cellular and molecular markers for the classification and diagnosis of various cancers. Recent publications include studies on the interobserver agreement in classifying squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva using p16 and p53, the diagnostic yield of pulmonologist-performed EUS-B-FNA for subdiaphragmatic lesions, and the expression of TLE1 in lung carcinoid tumors with spindle cell morphology as a potential diagnostic pitfall. Dr. Jeffus has also investigated malignant diagnoses in cerebrospinal fluid cytology and the presentation of metastatic lung adenocarcinoma with sudden vision loss.

Dr. Jeffus leads a research group and has collaborated with several colleagues at UAMS, including Meredith Verret and Nikhil Meena, on multiple publications. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 16, 66 total publications, and 699 total citations.
