Dr. Jonathan Said is a Professor and Chief of the Division of Anatomic Pathology in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center. His research focuses on the pathologic basis of neoplastic disease, exploring the use of tumor markers to characterize neoplastic proliferations. His laboratory engages in various ongoing projects, including the application of immunohistochemistry and situ hybridization to identify tumor antigens and gene products associated with neoplastic transformation and tumor progression. Key areas of examination include mechanisms of lymphomagenesis, the role of dendritic cells in the pathogenesis of lymphomas, and the study of HIV-related lymphoid proliferations. In collaboration with the National Institute of Health, his laboratory has built a large tumor bank for evaluating HIV-related neoplasia. He also investigates cyclin gene expression and their effects on cellular processes in prostate and breast cancer models, alongside the evaluation of viruses, particularly focusing on Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus in neoplastic diseases.
