Interests

Research and Clinical Focus

Dr. Lukic is an Anatomic and Clinical pathologist who provides services through the Hamilton Regional Laboratory Medicine Program. His academically oriented clinical work is in the following areas: general surgical pathology, intra-operative consultations, tumor bank management, cytology and laboratory management. His special area of interest is renal pathology with renal transplant pathology. As a regional nephropathologist he evaluates approximately 170 high-complex renal biopsies of native and transplant kidneys annually.

Most of the research activities are related to renal transplant and are conducted in collaboration with physicians and scientists from the other Departments and Universities in the following areas:

• A comparison of effects of different doses and combination of immunosupressive therapy on renal allograft histology, function and immune response
• Fibrosis at various intervals post transplant
• Fibrocyte study in glomerulonephritis
• Pauci-immune glomerulonephritis
• Acute response of airway muscle to extreme temperature
• Peripheral T-cell cytokine responses to modified histone peptides in lupus nephritis

• Schimkes Immunoosseous Dysplasia (SIOD)
• Identification of prostatic carcinoma cells using Raman Spectroscopy (Bucknell University)

Academic Interests

Dr. Lukic has an academic appointment with McMaster University, which includes teaching and training McMaster’s undergraduate medical students and postgraduate residents and fellows. Dr. Lukic teaches pathology to pathology residents, nephropathology and transplant pathology to nephrology fellows and residents. He is a regular speaker at the Nephrology Grand Rounds and Hamilton Society of Pathologists. He is also conducting monthly Renal Clinical Pathology Rounds at the Department of Nephrology.
