Steven J. Burakoff is a cancer specialist and the author of both Therapeutic Immunology (2001) and Graft-Vs.-Host Disease: Immunology, Pathophysiology, and Treatment (1990). He served as Director of The Tisch Cancer Institute at Mount Sinai (2007-2017), which was created in 2007 to focus on translational medicine. He is the Lillian and Henry M. Stratton Professor of Cancer Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center[1][2] as well as Dean for Cancer Innovation and Chief, Pediatric Oncology at the Icahn School of Medicine.[3][4]
Biography
Before joining Mount Sinai, he was recruited by New York University School of Medicine to revitalize the research and treatment mission of NYU's Cancer Institute, which during his tenure experienced a 31 percent growth and a 50 percent increase in funding from the National Cancer Institute.[5] He completed a residency in medicine at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and pursued fellowships in immunology at both Rockefeller University and Harvard Medical School.
He has received 84 grants as of 2020[6] in fields related to core administration, cancer, T-Cell activation and regulation, as well as various immunological studies.
His brother, Robert Burakoff, is a gastroenterologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, MA.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
