Major Research Areas
Molecular Pharmacology & Chemistry
  • SPORE in Prostate Cancer
    A Special Program Of Research Excellence (SPORE) in prostate cancer has been awarded to Memorial Sloan-Kettering in recognition of its role as a national leader in multi-institution research collaboration and coordination.
  • Prediction Tools
    To provide better predictions of outcomes for patients and their physicians, prognostic nomograms -- predictive devices -- gauge probabilities based on patient and treatment characteristics.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    The overall goals of the MIS section at Memorial Sloan-Kettering are to develop and refine the laparoscopic surgical approach to genitourinary malignancies in order to define the optimal role of the laparoscopic approach compared with the open approach.
  • Prostatic Kallikreins
    Recent studies from our laboratory demonstrate that there are significantly elevated levels of various PSA- and hK2-forms in blood up to 20 years before men are diagnosed with clinically significant prostate cancer.
  • Targeted-dye Trace Cancer Imaging During Prostatectomy
    In this multicenter, multidisciplinary project, we are developing a new contrast agent that allows detection and imaging of as few as 10 prostate cells in vivo in real time.
