Dr. Christopher VandenBussche is an Associate Professor of Pathology and Oncology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His areas of clinical expertise include bladder cancer and pathology. Dr. VandenBussche serves as the Associate Director of the Division of Cytopathology and the Cytopathology Fellowship Program Director.
Dr. VandenBussche earned his M.D. and Ph.D. from Georgetown University School of Medicine. He completed his residency at Johns Hopkins and performed a fellowship in cytopathology at Johns Hopkins.
Dr. VandenBussche’s research focuses on urinary cytopathology. In addition to clinical research in the area of bladder cancer, he is working on several genetic, molecular and immunological ancillary assays to improve diagnostic ability.
He is also interested in the impact of policy changes and scientific advancements on both the practice of gynecologic cytopathology and the clinical and biological behavior of the human papillomavirus (HPV).
