Biography

As a surgical pathologist, I combine the information gathered from the specimen with the available clinical information to provide the most definitive diagnosis possible, always with patient management in mind. My research interests include colorectal neoplasia, inflammatory bowel disease, and other inflammatory pathologies.

Professional Background

Dr. Drage earned his MD/PhD degrees at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH in 2011. He then completed Anatomic Pathology residency with subspecialty fellowships in both Cytopathology and Gastrointestinal pathology at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, MA in 2016. He was recruited to the faculty at University of Rochester Medical Center in July 2016 and serves as an Assistant Professor of Pathology.
