Dr. Quiroga-Garza is an Associate Professor of Pathology and a member of the Genitourinary Pathology Center of Excellence at UPMC. Her clinical and academic interests span genitourinary pathology and cytopathology, with particular expertise in renal, urothelial, testicular, and prostate neoplasia. Her research focuses on the morphologic and molecular characterization of genitourinary tumors, diagnostic and staging challenges, and the application of ancillary and molecular techniques to improve pathologic diagnosis. She is actively involved in undergraduate and graduate medical education and serves as Director of the Genitourinary Pathology Fellowship. She has a strong interest in mentorship and in advancing pathology education through national and international collaboration, particularly across the United States, Mexico, and Latin America.
