Remote Consultant, Diagnostic Immunology Laboratory, Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine - Nationwide Children's Hospital
February 26, 2026
The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (DPLM) at Nationwide Children’s Hospital (NCH) is searching for a part time (one week per month) remote Consultant for the Diagnostic Immunology Laboratory (DIL) to sign out diagnostic immunology testing cases, which includes flow cytometry, cellular immunology and cytokine testing. The qualified individual should possess a MD or MD/PhD degree with board certification and laboratory experience in any of the following specialties: Clinical Pathology (CP), Hematopathology, Hematology, Rheumatology, Allergy -Immunology (strong background in immunology, not allergy-focused) or Infectious Diseases. The focus of the lab is in the areas of inborn errors of immunity, transplant immunology (not HLA-testing) and secondary immunodeficiencies. Training in lab-specific processes will be provided to the selected candidate.
The DIL at NCH was founded in 2018 and is comprised of a team of highly skilled academic clinical scientists and laboratory personnel who provide comprehensive and esoteric testing for the diagnosis and monitoring of complex immunological disorders. The laboratory focuses on the validation and implementation of new diagnostic immunology testing through robust research and development (R&D).
The DIL has cellular immunology and immune biomarkersections and is actively developing and validating a broad array of immunological assays (phenotypic, functional, soluble biomarkers, molecular assays), including specific esoteric tests not offered routinely elsewhere in clinical diagnostic immunology laboratories in North America.
The laboratory has an ambitious program of test development, validation and implementation to support clinical practices, internally and externally, for excellence in delivery of care for patients with rare and/or complex immune diseases. NCH is a Jeffrey Modell Diagnostic and Research Center for Primary Immunodeficiencies/Inborn Errors of Immunity. The DIL has a biorepository of patient and healthy blood-based samples for test development, validation and research. Its testing repertoire continues to grow in volume with new tests added each year. The DPLM clinical laboratories combined have a volume of >3 million tests per year.
The DPLM at NCH includes approximately 30 pathologists and doctoral scientist faculty working with experienced technical staff in eight clinical laboratories.
The DPLM also hosts the only Pediatric Clinical Pathology Fellowship in the country in addition to the accredited fellowship programs in Pediatric Pathology and Clinical Laboratory Genetics & Genomics.
Ranked in the top 10 children's hospitals on U.S. News & World Report’s 2025-2026, NCH is home to The Abigail Wexner Research Institute, and one of the world’s largest pediatric biobanks within the DPLM. The Biopathology Core Resource of The Cancer Genome Atlas is also located in the Research Institute.
Inquiries and nominations are encouraged, and will be confidential. Please contact: Roshini Abraham, Ph.D., Director, Diagnostic Immunology Laboratory
