Robert Schneider, Ph.D. holds the Albert B. Sabin endowed chair for molecular pathogenesis at NYU School of Medicine. His research is directed to the development, progression, and metastasis of breast cancer and the interplay of the inflammatory response. He has published over 100 research papers in these and related areas.
Dr. Schneider is an
associate director of the NYU Cancer Institute, director of Translational Cancer Research, co-director of Translational Research for the NYU Clinical Translational Research Institute, and co-director of the Breast Cancer Research Program at NYU School of Medicine.
His research effort is directed to the molecular and genetic understanding of advanced breast cancers and the development of new treatment strategies and therapeutics for advanced breast cancer. Dr. Schneider performs research on the molecular basis of locally advanced and inflammatory breast cancer and the development of new therapeutics from these findings. His other research is focused on a molecular understanding of gene regulation by ionizing radiation, particularly its ability to regulate protein synthesis and the use of this knowledge for the development of new breast cancer treatment strategies.
Dr. Schneider has trained over 50 graduate students and postdoctoral research fellows and has awarded 26 Ph.D. degrees from his laboratory.
Dr. Schneider received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine.
