Jeffrey Sklar, MD, PhD

Jeffrey Sklar, MD, PhD, is a pathologist who specializes in molecular diagnostics to help identify and understand a range of diseases, including various forms of cancer. He examines tissues and cells at the genetic level to detect abnormalities that can shape treatment decisions.

As a professor of pathology at Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Sklar investigates how changes in genes and chromosomes affect cellular behavior and contribute to the development of disease. His work focuses on uncovering the molecular processes that drive conditions such as uterine tumors, with the goal of enhancing diagnostic approaches and improving patient care.

Dr. Sklar completed his medical training at Yale School of Medicine and pursued a residency in pathology, followed by a fellowship in biochemistry at Stanford University.
