This week, April 19-25, marks Medical Laboratory Professionals Week, and now more than ever we have a reason to celebrate the tireless efforts of our pathology faculty and staff and UAB Hospital labs colleagues.
It is our pleasure to welcome the following employees to the UAB Pathology Finance Team:
Janiece Finkley, MPA, joins the Department as Administrative Director. Janiece began her career with UAB 14 years ago and has worked in various roles at UAB, including recruitment/staffing, employee relations, compensation and benefits.

In that role, she provided HR leadership to 19 departments, managing daily HR operations and initiatives.
Janiece will lead HR initiatives and serve as a strategic partner to help the Department of Pathology achieve greater levels of effectiveness and productivity.
She expresses a true appreciation for diversity and challenges, and always strives for continuous improvement.
Ralph Sanderson. Ph.D., Endowed Professor of Cancer Pathobiology and Division Director, Molecular and Cellular Pathology, recently co-authored and edited the book Heparanase along with Israel Vlodavsky, Ph.D., the world's leading expert on heparanese, an enzyme that cleaves heparan sulfate-a linear polysaccharide found in all animal tissues. Dr. Vlodavsky has collaborated with Sanderson for years in this work, and was the sixth annual Listinsky lecturer in 2019, for a lecture titled, "Heparanese: From Basic Research to Novel Therapeutics for Cancer Inflammation." Sanderson and Vlodavsky's collaboration began two decades ago. Their research now focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying the ability of heparanase to promote tumor progression.
