Profile

Donna Castellone, MS, MT(ASCP)SH

---

Presently, I am an instructor in the Department of Pathology, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Research Co-coordinator for Translational and Applied Laboratory Medicine, and Coagulation Consultant for the Special Coagulation Laboratory. I also am an adjunct at SUNY Stony Brook, New York and a guest lecturer at University of Medicine and Dentistry at New Jersey.

I have given hundreds of lectures on coagulation throughout the United States, and presented posters at many conferences.  One of my passions is writing, and I have published over 70 articles and worked on 3 text books.  I am on the Editorial Board for Laboratory Medicine and Advance for Administrators of the Laboratory.  Additionally, my involvement with ASCP has put me on the Workshop committee, Board of Registry and currently on the Editorial Board.  I am also on the executive committee of NASCOLA (North American Specialized Coagulation Laboratories Association).  Most time consuming, is I am a matriculated PhD student at UMDNJ- half way there!
My honors include throughout my career include:

• Regional Associate Member Award – American Society for Clinical Pathology: 1998
• Distinguished Service Alumni Award- SUNY Stony Brook, School of Health Technology and Management: 1999
• Distinguished Service Award – American Society for Clinical Pathology:  2003
• Board of Registry Chair’s Award – Hematology and Special Hematology Examination, American Society for Clinical Pathology: 2006.
• Coagulation/Hemostasis Technologist of the Year - Aniara:  2006

On a personal note, I am married for 30 years to a very patient man Eugene, and have 3 wonderful daughters- Jenna is a teacher, Theresa is a clinical laboratory scientist in microbiology, both are working on their masters- and my youngest Gabrielle is attending college at the Fashion Institute of Technology, living in the city having a great time.  We are finally empty nesters, and my husband and I love to travel.
