Dr. Zakowski joined the faculty in the Department of Pathology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and rose to the level of full attending and full professor at the Weil Cornell School of Medicine; she is the first woman in pathology to achieve that status having risen up from junior level. While on staff, she was responsible for general surgical pathology and cytopathology and ran the cytopathology fellowship training program and later all the pathology fellowship programs for over a decade. When the department became sub-specialized, she headed the Thoracic Pathology Team.
