Dolores Di Vizio MD, PhD

Dr. Dolores Di Vizio is a pathologist and a molecular and cell biologist trained at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Di Vizio holds an academic appointment as an associate professor at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and at the University of California, Los Angeles. She is an Executive Chair of the International Society of Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV). Her group studies the molecular mechanisms of progression to advanced disease in human tumors, with a particular emphasis on large endosomes, extracellular vesicles (EVs) shed into the extracellular space from fast migrating and metastatic amoeboid cancer cells. Her lab is currently profiling the large endosomes and other EV populations by NGS and proteomics for functional and molecular characterization.
