Nataliya Buxbaum, MD
Principal Investigator
I am passionate about bench-to-bedside research. As a physician-scientist, I follow clinically relevant leads from my laboratory to implement them into clinical trials as quickly as possible to benefit patients, especially children and young adults with cancer.

Jill Duzen, BS
Lab Manager
As a teen, I witnessed my cousin’s agonizing battle against leukemia and watched her succumb to it at only 19 years old. This led me to pursue a career in cancer research, which started with me obtaining my BS in Biochemical Pharmacology at SUNY at Buffalo.
Throughout my career at UB and Roswell Park, I have developed a reputation for being a dedicated problem-solver who is passionate about translational research which impacts cancer patients.

My mom's battle with cancer motivated me to switch my career back to the field of cancer research. Hopefully, my work will contribute to personalized treatment for cancer patients.
