Linglei Ma

Linglei Ma serves as Professor of Pathology in the Department of Pathology at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, specializing in Dermatopathology with clinical expertise in diagnosing complex skin diseases.

His educational background includes:

• Medical School: Beijing Medical University, Beijing, China
• Ph.D.: Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
• Residencies: Beijing Medical University (Dermatology); Yale University Hospital, New Haven, CT (Anatomic Pathology)
• Fellowship: New York University Hospital, NY (Dermatopathology)

Dr. Ma's research focuses on neoplastic skin diseases, particularly cutaneous melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, lymphoma, and adnexal tumors. His work has pioneered the use of biomarkers including CD23, MUM1, g-H2AX, CD163, CD33, and DEK for diagnostic subclassification. He integrates molecular pathology with immunohistochemistry to investigate signaling pathways like mTOR and Grb2 in lymphomagenesis, advancing precision diagnostics in dermatopathology.

Analysis of his 2012-2023 publications reveals consistent emphasis on rare cutaneous tumors, with recent work exploring post-vaccination lymphoproliferative disorders, vascular anomalies, and genetic markers in sebaceous neoplasms. His research bridges clinical case reports with molecular investigations, strengthening diagnostic frameworks for challenging skin malignancies.
