He has co-authored over 500 highly cited original research publications in addition to numerous invited review articles and book chapters. He is a standing editorial board member of the WHO/IARC classification of tumours which is considered the peak international body in surgical pathology and sets diagnostic criteria for tumours applied around the world.
