Biography

Before joining Mount Sinai, he was recruited by New York University School of Medicine to revitalize the research and treatment mission of NYU's Cancer Institute, which during his tenure experienced a 31 percent growth and a 50 percent increase in funding from the National Cancer Institute.[5] He completed a residency in medicine at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and pursued fellowships in immunology at both Rockefeller University and Harvard Medical School.

He has received 84 grants as of 2020[6] in fields related to core administration, cancer, T-Cell activation and regulation, as well as various immunological studies.

His brother, Robert Burakoff, is a gastroenterologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, MA.
