When moving from Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, to UPCI/Magee Womens Research Institute, Dr. Oesterreich had just become interested in ILC, as some estrogen receptor cofactors were expressed higher in ER+ ILC (as per Oncomine). She decided to start researching ILC, and was delighted to learn that Dr. David Dabbs, the Chief Pathologist at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital was an internationally recognized expert in ILC. The ILC studies would not have been possible without Dr. Dabbs advice and countless slide reviews. Dr. Oesterreich and Dr. Dabbs had many productive collaborations, and also co-authored a review in “Breast Pathology, 2nd Edition by David J. Dabbs”.
