Cory Bernadt

Cory Bernadt serves as Associate Professor in Pathology & Immunology at Washington University School of Medicine, holding dual leadership roles as Section Head of Cytopathology and Director of the Cytopathology Fellowship program.

He completed his Medical Degree and PhD at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 2006 and maintains board certification in both Anatomic Pathology and Cytopathology.

Dr. Bernadt's research centers on molecular applications of cytology specimens, with emphasis on innovative slide rehydration techniques for fine needle aspiration and integration of artificial intelligence in diagnostic pathology. His work bridges traditional cytopathology with computational approaches to enhance molecular diagnostics.

Recent publications reveal a pronounced shift toward computational pathology, particularly in lung cancer metastasis prediction using deep learning models and novel slide preparation methods. This trend underscores growing synergy between histopathology and AI-driven analytics in oncology diagnostics.

As Cytopathology Fellowship Director, he oversees comprehensive training programs that prepare pathologists for subspecialty practice through structured mentorship in diagnostic techniques and emerging molecular methodologies.
