Neal Rosen, MD, Ph.D.

 

Dr. Rosen is a Member in the Department of Medicine and in the Molecular Pharmacology and Chemistry Program at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, where he serves as Head of Developmental Therapeutics. He is also a Professor of Pharmacology, Cell Biology and Medicine at Cornell University Medical School. His major interests are the identification and study of key molecular events and growth signaling pathways responsible for the development of human cancer and the use of this information for developing mechanism-based therapeutic strategies.

 

He has played an important role in the development of tyrosine kinase-mediated signaling inhibitors and pioneered the concept that cancer cells are dependent on cellular machinery for protein folding. Multiple novel clinical trials based on the work of the Rosen laboratory are being tested at Memorial Sloan-Kettering and other cancer centers in the United States and internationally.

 

Dr. Rosen received his undergraduate degree in Chemistry from Columbia College and an M.D., Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He completed a residency in Internal Medicine at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and post-doctoral training and a fellowship in Medical Oncology at the National Cancer Institute. He was on the senior staff of the Medicine Branch at the NCI prior to joining the faculty of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
