Department of Genitourinary Medical Oncology, Division of Cancer Medicine
About Dr. Pavlos Msaouel
Dr. Msaouel is a clinician and cancer biologist dedicated to translational research for the treatment of genitourinary malignancies. He received his MD and PhD in cellular and molecular physiology from the University of Athens in Greece. He then completed his internal medicine residency at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine / Jacobi Medical Center, and also served as Chief Resident for the program. He subsequently served as Chief Fellow at MD Anderson Cancer Center while completing his fellowship in medical oncology. His clinical interests are in the treatment of patients with renal cell and urothelial carcinomas, with a particular emphasis on rare variants such as renal medullary carcinoma. His laboratory research focuses on understanding the role of defects in subunits of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, such as SMARCB1, in the biology of genitourinary malignancies. His clinical research involves developing and implementing novel clinical trial designs.
