Nini Khin, MD

Dr. Khin received an MD from Lady Hardinge Medical College in New Delhi, India. She completed an Anatomic and Clinical Pathology Residency, Cytopathology Fellowship, and Surgical Pathology Fellowship at the University of South Florida. Dr. Khin joins us from Bayfront Health, Department of Pathology. Dr. Khin is interested in general cytopathology, including touch preparation and cytopathological and histopathological diagnosis of gynecological and breast cancers. Her research interests include intraoperative imprint cytology as well as pre-malignant lesions and risk assessment in gynecological and breast cancers.
