Whiddon COM welcomes Mujeeb Ullah as assistant professor of pathology

Ateeqa Mujeeb Ullah, M.D.

Ateeqa Mujeeb Ullah, M.D., is a board-certified and fellowship-trained surgical pathologist who blends her love for medicine and the arts into her work. She describes pathology as “the most artistic field in medicine,” where the microscope is not just a diagnostic tool but a window into nature’s own canvas — the pink and purple hues telling stories of health and disease.

Mujeeb Ullah, who recently joined USA Health and the Whiddon College of Medicine as an assistant professor of pathology, says she was drawn to the institution by its people and the promise of academic collaboration. “I am excited for this opportunity to mentor the next generation of pathologists,” she added.

Prior to this role, she completed a fellowship in surgical pathology with a focus on gastrointestinal diseases at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, where she trained under leading experts in the field, including Elizabeth Montgomery, M.D., and Rhonda Yantiss, M.D.

Her current research focuses on various benign and malignant tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as the evolving influence of academic conferences on the direction of medical research and the future of pathology.

Originally from Pakistan, Mujeeb Ullah earned her medical degree from Rawalpindi Medical University before completing her residency in anatomic and clinical pathology at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine in New York.

She is a diplomate of the American Board of Pathology and the College of American Pathologists, and a member of the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology and the Pakistani-American Pathologists’ Society.
