Dr. Iacobuzio-Donahue was born and raised in Long Island NY. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Adelphi University, followed by both an MD and PhD degree from Boston University School of Medicine. While in Boston, she spent three years investigating how colorectal cancers develop the ability to invade through the colon and spread to other organs (metastasize). Following her education at Boston University, she moved to Baltimore MD where she completed a residency in Anatomic Pathology at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. While in residency, she spent one additional year of research training with two leading researchers in pancreas cancer, Drs. Scott Kern and Ralph Hruban, studying the molecular genetics and gene expression profiles of pancreatic cancer. Her research focuses on developing new drugs tailored specifically to the unique features of pancreatic cancers, and on understanding how pancreas cancers grow and spread to other organs.
