Annemieke van Zante, M.D., Ph.D.

Pathologist

Dr. Annemieke van Zante is a pathologist at UCSF Medical Center who performs and interprets the results of fine needle aspiration biopsies at the Fine Needle Aspiration Clinic. She has a particular interest in head and neck pathology and also reviews specimens and provides consultations for head and neck cancer.

In her research, she focuses on the biological functions of carbohydrate sulfation in the regulation of growth factor signaling in cancer. Van Zante earned a medical degree and doctorate in the medical scientist training program, and completed a residency in anatomic pathology at UCSF. She also completed fellowships in surgical pathology and cytopathology, which is the study of abnormalities within cells, at UCSF. Van Zante is certified by the American Board of Pathology in anatomic patholoy and cytopathology, and is a UCSF assistant professor of clinical pathology.
