David Lyden, MD, PhD named to Stavros S. Niarchos Chair of Pediatric Cardiovascular Research
We are pleased to announce that David Lyden, MD, PhD, who is an Associate Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology at Weill Cornell and an internationally recognized leader in cancer and vascular biology research, has been selected as the new Stavros S. Niarchos Associate Professor in Pediatric Cardiology at Weill Cornell Medical College.
Dr. Lyden is a major contributor to the study that demonstrated bone marrow harbors the cells essential to building the lining of tumor blood vessels, a finding which may lead to more targeted treatment for cancer. Recently, he coauthored work demonstrating that bone-marrow-derived vascular stem cells contribute to angiogenesis and growth of certain tumors. Dr. Lyden has received numerous awards and honors including a Clinical Scientist Development Award from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
