Mary Ellen Reid, BSN, MSPH, PhD

I am the Chief of Cancer Screening, Survivorship and Mentorship at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.  In my more than 20 years at Roswell Park, I am a Distinguished Professor of Oncology in the Department of Medicine and a key member of the Roswell Park scientific team that is collaborating with Cuban scientists on CIMAvax.  As Chief of Cancer Screening and Survivorship, I have worked to expand Roswell Park’s pioneering Lung Cancer Screening program and develop other cancer screening initiatives within the Institute and in the communities of Western New York, working closely with clinical departments and community providers, to increase the lung, colon and breast screening compliance. I have also established a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary survivorship clinical and outreach program.

Prior to joining Roswell Park, I received my PhD in Cancer Epidemiology at the University of Arizona in Tucson in 1996. I held the rank of Assistant Professor in the Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, at the College of Public Health and Co-Director of the NCI Cancer Prevention and Control Training Program. I have authored or co-authored more than 140 publications, five book chapters, and serves as a regular reviewer for several cancer, nutrition and epidemiology journals as well as a regular ad-hoc reviewer for several National Cancer Institute grant mechanisms.
