About Me
Dr. Elena Ezhkova is a Professor of Cell, Developmental and Regenerative Biology and Dermatology. She is Director of Skin Biology and Diseases Resource-based Center (SBDRC) at Mount Sinai. She is a member of Black Family Stem Cell Institute and Tisch Cancer Center.
The long-term interest of Ezhkova lab is to elucidate molecular mechanisms that control epithelial stem cells during development and adulthood and to uncover how these processes are altered in human diseases, such as cancer.
We are recruiting graduate students and postdoctoral fellows!

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
