David Zagzag is a Professor and Chief of the Division of Neuropathology at NYU Langone Health. He directs the Human Brain Tumor Bank and the Microvascular Molecular Neuro-Oncology Laboratory. With a fellowship in Neuropathology from NYU Medical Center and a PhD from McGill University, he specializes in Anatomic Pathology and Neuropathology. His clinical responsibilities include diagnosing and treating adult patients with neurological disorders. He is board certified in both Anatomic Pathology and Neuropathology by the American Board of Pathology. His research focuses on the mechanisms of cerebral vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, investigating how blood vessels are constructed and the role of extracellular matrix proteins in central nervous system development and pathology, particularly in brain tumors. Dr. Zagzag aims to elucidate the expression patterns and molecular mechanisms of vasculogenic and angiogenic factors related to brain cancer biology, specifically focusing on the ECM molecule tenascin. His work has implications for understanding tumor progression and the impact of the extracellular environment on vascular development.
