David A. Scheinberg is an American physician, scientist, drug developer, and entrepreneur, who is currently Vincent Astor Chair, and Chairman of the Molecular Pharmacology Program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK).[1] He is a pioneer and inventor of targeted alpha particle therapies and alpha particle generators for use in patients with cancer.[2][3]

Career

Scheinberg received a BA from Cornell University and an MD, PhD from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He is a professor of pharmacology and co-chair of the pharmacology graduate program at Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences and a professor at the Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School.
