Omar Abdel Wahab, MD
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
I am the Evnin Family Chair of Molecular Pharmacology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) where I also serve as Chair of the Molecular Pharmacology Program in the Sloan Kettering Institute, an Attending Physician on the Leukemia Service, and a Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell College of Medicine.
Over the last ten years, my laboratory has been focused on understanding how RNA is mis-processed in cancer and create new therapeutic opportunities for cancer treatment.
My work has been recognized by an NIH Outstanding Investigator R35 Award, the Seldin-Smith Award for Pioneering Research from the American Society of Clinical Investigation, the Dameshek Award from the American Society of Hematology, the Paul Marks Prize from MSK, the Pershing Square Sohn Prize for Young Investigators in Cancer Research, and induction into the National Academy of Medicine.
