Ari Melnick

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ari Melnick

Ari Melnick is an Argentine-born physician and biomedical researcher specialising in haematological malignancies and cancer epigenetics.[1][2] Since 2025, he is the Director of the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute in Spain.[3]

Education

[edit]

Melnick studied medicine at the University of Buenos Aires, graduating in 1990. He subsequently continued his professional and academic career in the United States.[4][5]

Career

[edit]

Melnick has held positions at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York and later joined Weill Cornell Medicine. At Weill Cornell he directs the Haematologic Malignancies Research Program, a role he has combined since 2013 with his appointment as Gebroe Family Professor of Haematology/Oncology. In 2025 he was appointed Director of the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute.[4]

Research

[edit]

Melnick is an international reference in the fields of blood cancers and cancer epigenetics.[6][7] He played a leading role[8] in one of the first large-scale epigenomic studies in humans.[9] Through this and subsequent research, Melnick and collaborators demonstrated that aberrant epigenetic programming is a hallmark of cancer[10] and that epigenetic diversity contributes significantly[11] to tumour fitness and unfavorable patient outcomes.[2][1][3]

His therapeutic approaches have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration or advanced to phase III clinical trials.[2][1]

Awards and honours

[edit]

In recognition of his contributions to translational research in haematology, Melnick received the Ernest Beutler Prize in Translational Research from the American Society of Hematology.[3][12]

Melnick is a member of the Board of Directors of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the Lymphoma Research Foundation.[3]
