Dr. Condeelis' areas of research include optical physics, cell biology, biophysics, as well as cancer biology and tumor metastasis.
NEW YORK, NY, January 04, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ -- John S. Condeelis, PhD, has been inducted into Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Dr. Condeelis is an award-winning scientist and professor in the departments of cell biology and surgery at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. He is the Judith and Burton P. Resnick Chair in translational research of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and the Director of Basic and Translational Research in the Department of surgery at Montefiore Medicine. Dr. Condeelis is chair emeritus of the department of anatomy and structural biology.
Dr. Condeelis serves in research leadership roles as the co-director of the Integrated Imaging Program and as the scientific director of the Analytical Imaging Facility, and Director of the Integrated Program for Cancer Research, which includes seven large laboratory programs including three clinical programs in breast, pancreas and lung carcinoma, the Clinical Pathology Program, Computational Analysis of Biomarkers Program, the TMEM doorway MRI Program, and the Therapeutics Development Program.
Dr. Condeelis' areas of research include optical physics, cell biology, biophysics, as well as cancer biology and tumor metastasis. Dr. Condeelis and his collaborators developed the custom-built multiphoton imaging technology used to identify the invasion and intravasation microenvironments in breast tumors and their metastatic sites. This led to the discovery of the paracrine interaction between tumor cells and macrophages in vivo, and the discovery of the TMEM doorway for spreading tumor cells systemically via the blood circulation. This led to the discovery of the mouse and human invasion signatures which have supplied prognostic markers for the prediction and detection of breast tumor metastasis in patients.
His discoveries have resulted in better ways to assess the risk of metastasis, including TMEM-doorway MRI, and design of therapeutic strategies to improve the response of breast cancer patients to treatment. Looking toward the future, Dr. Condeelis' ultimate goal is to prevent cancer from killing people.
Dr. Condeelis has notably disseminated his findings by authoring numerous scholarly publications in high impact journals including Science, Nature and Cancer Discovery. Aside from his primary career objectives as a researcher, Dr. Condeelis invests his time in various initiatives to raise philanthropy for cancer research.
To prepare for his career, Dr. Condeelis achieved a Bachelor of Science in physics at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1971 and a Doctor of Philosophy in biophysics at the State University of New York in 1975. Additionally, Dr. Condeelis completed his postdoctoral work in biophysics at Harvard University in 1977.
Dr. Condeelis is a member of the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB), the American Association for Cancer Research, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the New York Academy of Sciences, and the International Society for Optical Engineering. He has contributed professional service to these and many other organizations including: Editorial Board (Founding Member) for Cell Motility and the Cytoskeleton, Editorial Board for The Journal of Cell Biology, President of the New York Society of Experimental Microscopists, Board of Councilors of the Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, NIH, Council member ASCB, and Editor of IntraVital.
Highlighting his achievements, Dr. Condeelis has received numerous awards including the Rita Allen Foundation Scholar Award, the Mortimer Harrison Trust Award, Irma T. Hirschl Career Scientist Award, Einstein Junior Faculty Mentoring Award, election as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Marshall S. Horwitz Prize for excellence in science, and the Josh Fidler Award of the Metastasis Research Society.
