Monica Guzman, Ph.D.
Dr. Guzman is an Associate Professor of Pharmacology in Medicine, appointed in the Division of Hematology & Medical Oncology in the Department of Medicine. She was recruited to Weill Cornell Medical College in 2009 from the University of Rochester. As the first scientist to identify dysregulated gene networks in leukemia stem cells and capitalize on this dysregulation to develop therapies to destroy them, she is widely viewed as one of the world's foremost experts in therapeutic targeting of leukemia stem cells. Her postdoctoral training was completed in the laboratory of Dr. Craig T. Jordan, a recognized leader in therapeutic targeting of leukemia stem cells. Before joining Weill Cornell, Dr. Guzman was appointed as an Instructor of Medicine at the University of Rochester. She has authored or co-authored numerous papers, book chapters, and review articles in journals such as the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Blood, and the New England Journal of Medicine.
As an independent investigator, Dr. Guzman has received funding from the NIH, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, V Foundation, and other organizations. Her passion is to perform world class translational research through close interactions between research and clinic to accelerate the development of new and more effective leukemia treatments that ablate leukemia stem cells.
