Biographical Sketch: Dr. Douglas Levine is an Associate Attending Surgeon at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. Dr. Levine earned his medical doctorate in 1995 at Mount Sinai Medical Center, where he also completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology. He went on to a clinical fellowship in gynecologic oncology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering and then spent 2 years as a postdoctoral research fellow, also at Memorial. In addition to a clinical practice, Dr. Levine is the current Head of the Gynecology Research Laboratory, where he studies the genomic science of ovarian and endometrial carcinoma. Dr. Levine is very active within the NIH-sponsored Cancer Genome Atlas project (TCGA). He serves as co-chair of the Ovarian and Endometrial Disease Working Groups and has been responsible for providing a translational focus to the genomic analyses of the projects. In addition to these responsibilities, Dr. Levine is a member of the editorial board of Gynecologic Oncology and a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. He has authored or co-authored more than 90 peer-reviewed articles and two textbooks.
