John Maciejowski
“My lab is focusing on a dysfunction of the chromosomes that affects cancer development. My experiences and training at GSK really helped me get a fast start at Rockefeller University, where I did my postdoctoral work. As researchers at MSK, we have the opportunity to discover really cool things and the privilege to do what we really love.”
