Email JasonBiography
Dr. Jason Karamchandani is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology and is a clinical neuropathologist at The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital where he supports adult and pediatric pathology, including neuromuscular pathology. His research employs bio-informatic data to identify and to characterize biomarkers relevant to classification and prognosis of brain tumours and neuromuscular disorders. His laboratory at the Neuro examines pathologies of both the central nervous system as well as neuromuscular disease.
A graduate of Harvard University, where he received his AB Honours degree in biochemistry cum laude, Dr. Karamchandani earned his medical degree at Stanford University School of Medicine where he was class valedictorian. At Stanford, he pursued residency training in anatomic pathology, as well as fellowship training in surgical pathology and neuropathology. He currently serves as the vice-president of the Canadian Association of Pathology.
Among his scientific achievements, Dr. Karamchandani has authored or co-authored over 60 publications in peer-reviewed journals. He has published four book chapters, with the most recent describing the molecular alterations and clinical tests in tumours of the central nervous system, and tumours of the spinal cord.
