Memarzadeh, Sanaz - University of California, Los Angeles

个人简介

Dr. Sanaz Memarzadeh is a board certified clinician-scientist. In the clinic she is a highly skilled cancer surgeon and cares for women with gynecologic cancers (ovarian, endometrial, vulvar, cervical and tubal cancers). In the laboratory, she is the director of the G.O. Discovery Laboratory team. She has an eye for research that is immediately applicable and translatable to patient care. In fact, every question asked in her laboratory is a biologic question born out of an important yet unanswered question from the clinic. She and her team thrive on doing research that will impact lives of patients from bench to bedside and back. The NIH, the American Cancer Society and several foundations fund her laboratory. She also has collaborations with the community to raise awareness and funds for women’s cancer research. She is the recipient of multiple awards including an APGO excellence in teaching award, STOP cancer career development and seed awards, a Kimmel Translational Scholar’s award, a Concern Foundation award to name a few. One of her major goals is to help train the next generation of scientists that will help revolutionize medicine as practiced today.

The overarching theme of my research is overcoming mechanisms of therapy resistance in carcinomas. As a clinician-scientist, my career goal is to develop more effective and less toxic therapies for women impacted by epithelial tumors of the gynecologic organs. We are making progress in this woefully understudied area by discovering the molecular and cellular underpinnings of these cancers and exploiting existing vulnerabilities pharmacologically. Our discoveries have broad applications to carcinomas in general and are moving into clinical trials.
