Darren R. Veach, PhD
Chemist
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

My main interest is to develop new drugs and diagnostic agents for cancer. My research focus at Memorial Sloan Kettering has been to design and synthesize tyrosine-kinase targeted therapeutics for leukemia and other malignancies. Additionally, I have a particular interest in developing molecular tools that can improve cancer diagnosis and therapy. These include both optical and radiolabeled probes and molecular conjugates. Also, I am interested in understanding how these molecules behave in vitro and in vivo. We use non-invasive imaging techniques like PET and SPECT to directly observe drug and radiotracer behavior in the body. With the help of like-minded fellow scientists and physicians, I hope to improve many aspects of cancer treatment by developing tools to diagnose cancer earlier and find new drugs that are effective with fewer side effects. Such lofty goals are indeed attainable in this highly collaborative environment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
A chemist is a scientist with special training in chemistry.
