He joined the Department of Pathology at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in 2023, following a fellowship training at MGH in both Head & Neck/Endocrine Pathology and Breast Pathology.
Dr. Alzumaili completed his residency in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology at Mount Sinai West/Morningside Hospital in Manhattan, New York. During his training, he developed a strong interest in endocrine pathology, particularly thyroid pathology, through collaborative work with faculty at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
At MGH, Dr. Alzumaili has developed interinstitutional collaborations focused on understanding thyroid tumorigenesis. His research integrates molecular and genetic insights into thyroid neoplasia to better characterize the biological behaviors of thyroid tumors, particularly those with uncertain malignant potential.
In addition to his clinical work and research, Dr. Alzumaili plays a prominent role in education.

Research
Thyroid tumors present a particular challenge for patients, as most thyroid tumors are indolent. The challenge for physicians who treat thyroid tumors is the decision about treatment modality to pursue, including active surveillance (tumor monitoring without treatment), surgery, radiation (typically with radioiodine), and targeting chemotherapeutic agents.
