Zainab Shahid is an infectious disease specialist with expertise in the management of infection-related complications in patients with blood cancers, like leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.

I am an endocrinologist with particular interest in treating type 1 and type 2 diabetes in people with cancer. I see people who are dealing with increased blood sugar at the same time that they are dealing with active cancer or chemotherapy. Most of my research is focused on studying the safety and effectiveness of different drugs for diabetes.

As Chief of the Hematology Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), I lead a team of hematologists that sees approximately 4,040 patients with benign blood disorders each year.
