Dr. Olteanu received his medical degree from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Cluj-Napoca, Romania and holds a PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. He completed an Anatomic and Clinical Pathology residency at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (2003-2007), followed by a Hematopathology fellowship at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Upon completion of his training, he was appointed assistant professor of Pathology at the Medical College of Wisconsin in July 2008.
Dr. Olteanu’s research is focused on exploring new ways in which the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of hematopoietic malignancies can be improved through a combination of methods, with emphasis on flow cytometry. He is also involved in studies covering coagulation and hemostasis topics.
