Zbigniew Darzynkiewicz, M.D., Ph.D. is the Director of the Brander Cancer Research Institute at the New York Medical College and the Professor of Pathology, Medicine and Microbiology/Immunology at the same College. Formerly (1988-90) Dr. Darzynkiewicz was the Member of the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, New York, N.Y. and the Professor of Cell Biology and Genetics at Cornell University Medical School. Dr. Darzynkiewicz received his M.D. (with the highest honors) and his Ph.D. degrees from the Medical School of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland and completed his post-graduate studies at the State University of New York at Buffalo and at the Medical Nobel Institute of Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden.
Dr. Darzynkiewicz's research concentrates on cell biology with particular focus on cancer cell growth and the regulatory mechanisms associated with cell proliferation, apoptosis and sensitivity to anti-tumor drugs. He developed several analytical techniques to analyze metabolic parameters related to cell cycle kinetics, prognosis of tumor progression, DNA damage and apoptosis that have world-wide application. He is the past President of the Cell Kinetics Society (1986-87) and also President of the International Society for Analytical Cytology (1993-1994). Since 1972 his research has been continuously supported, including a prestigious MERIT award, by the grants from National Institute of Health. He was also a recipient of a grant from NASA to develop technologies for cell staining and analysis applicable to the micro-gravity conditions of the Space Station. Dr. Darzynkiewicz is the Editor or/Co-editor of 6 scientific journals and a Member of the Editorial Board of 14 other scientific journals. As of mid-2008 Dr. Darzynkiewicz has published over 535 original articles in peer-reviewed journals, over 100 chapters and reviews and has authored and/or edited 12 books. He holds seven US patents. Since 1980 he presented, all by invitation, over 320 lectures and seminars on national and international congresses, symposia, and in various research institutions. His publications have been cited over 22.000 times in the scientific literature. Seventy eight his publications were cited over 78 times, which ranks him at # 78 Hirsch's impact "h-index".
