Biography

Dr. Murray Resnick is Director of Surgical Pathology and Director of GI Pathology at Lifespan/Rhode Island Hospital, Co-Director of the Molecular Pathology Core Facility of the COBRE Center for Cancer Research Development at Lifespan, and is Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Brown University School of Medicine. He came to Rhode Island in 2002 upon relocating from Israel where he worked as Director of the Department of Pathology at Carmel Medical Center in Haifa. Dr. Resnick received his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from Hadassah Medical School, Hebrew University, in Jerusalem. He completed his residency in pathology and GI pathology fellowship training at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. His research subspeciality is in the area of GI pathology.
