Zoe King, D.O., is a pediatric oncologist at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital. While completing a fellowship in pediatric hematology/oncology at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore, she worked in the Shastri Lab doing research on BAX-mediated cell death as a therapeutic strategy in drug-resistant and aggressive myeloid neoplasms. She is published in the field of clonal hematopoiesis and STAT signal pathways leading to acute myeloid malignancy. Currently, her clinical and research focus is on children with cancer predisposition syndromes.
