Dr. Berman is a Pathologist at the Toronto General Hospital and is part of the Cancer Clinical Research Unit at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. He is also an assistant professor in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology at the University of Toronto.

As an experimental pathologist actively involved in translational research and clinical trials at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Dr. Berman has extensive experience with various approaches, including immunohistochemistry, microscopy and image analysis, for assessment of the immune cell microenvironment within human tissue samples. Dr. Berman’s laboratory seeks basic insights into how epithelial cells from BRCA1/2 mutation carriers orchestrate the uniqueness of the immune cell microenvironment, early in the development of breast and ovarian cancers.
