## Description

The Melnick Lab is a cancer research group based at Weill Cornell Medicine’s Sandra and Edward Meyer Cancer Center in New York City, with ties to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. Its mission is to uncover the molecular mechanisms of cancer and use those findings to develop treatments that can benefit patients. The lab studies how transcriptional and epigenetic regulation guides normal cell differentiation and how disruptions in these processes contribute to human leukemias and lymphomas, particularly B-cell cancers.

Research combines laboratory investigation with clinical insight to identify disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies. Recent work has examined how mutations in genes such as ARID1A and BTG1 influence B-cell development, lymphoma formation, and disease progression, as well as vulnerabilities that may support precision treatment. The team shares its findings through peer-reviewed publications and highlights its research, members, alumni, and news on its website. Rather than offering commercial products or clinical services, the Melnick Lab advances biomedical knowledge and seeks to translate discoveries into more targeted approaches for cancer therapy.
