Shortly after finishing his residency, he practiced for 18 months in a private laboratory (Unilabs) before returning to the academic environment at Geneva University Hospitals in 2010, where he developed his current specialization of head and neck pathology, thyroid pathology, and cytopathology. In 2012, he did a visiting fellowship at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, where he established a strong connection with Prof. William Faquin, director of head and neck pathology. Since October 2017, Dr. Pusztaszeri has been an Associate Professor of Pathology at the 91社区 as well as a Staff Pathologist at the Jewish General Hospital. He is currently the Site Chief of the Department of Pathology (JGH).
Dr. Pusztaszeri's clinical and research interests have focused mainly on cytopathology and surgical pathology of the thyroid gland and salivary gland tumors. He has authored or co-authored over 140 peer-reviewed publications, and has contributed to 18 chapters for important reference textbooks for thyroid and salivary gland cytopathology. He is recognized for his contributions for updating the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology, which plays a key role for the management of patients with thyroid nodules, and for the recent Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology, an international team effort sponsored by the ASC and IAC which is expected to improve the management of patient with salivary gland lesions. He serves as an editorial board member for several important journals in the field of Cytopathology and Head & Neck Pathology, as well as for Pathology Outlines and the new World Tumor Registry websites.
