A highly trained pathologist, Dr. Szabo has been serving as a Professor of Pathology & Pharmacology at the University of California, Irvine, School of Medicine since October of 1994.
His laboratory is concerned with the field of the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal (GI) ulceration, especially of duodenal ulcer. Most of the seminal contributions which evolved from his laboratory relate to the experimental models that he developed and mechanisms related to duodenal ulcers.
For the past decade, Dr. Szabo systematically investigated the underlying mechanisms involved in experimental ulcers using an array of morphological, functional, biochemical, molecular biologic and pharmacologic methods of approach. He applied his knowledge of angiogenesis, growth factors and gene expression to the field of experimental ulcers. This provided new venues to explain the mechanisms of GI ulceration and the action of drugs such as sucralfate and potential new therapeutic strategies for healing ulcers.

He went on to earn his Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy Degrees under the mentorship of Prof. Hans Selye, in his Inst. of Experimental Medicine & Surgery at the University of Montreal.
Furthering his training, he performed a residency in pathology and a postdoctoral fellowship at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He was then appointed as Assistant Professor, followed by Associate Professorship in Pathology at Harvard Medical School.

Chan School of Public Health, was invited to lead the Pathology & Lab. Med Service of Long Beach VA Medical Center, as well as served as Chief of Staff at LBVAMC and Associate Deanship at UCI-SOM.

Pathology is a branch of medical science that involves the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of surgically removed organs, tissues, bodily fluids, and in some cases, the whole body. Pathologists are physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and management of diseases by laboratory methods.
