Mehnert, recognized for her expertise in early phase therapeutics and treatment of skin malignancies, previously served as associate professor of medicine at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and regional phase 1 clinical program director at Rutgers Cancer institute.
“The science at NYU Langone is just extraordinary, and the translational link between the clinic and the lab at Perlmutter Cancer Center is something I'm really looking forward to helping to grow,” Mehnert said in a press release.
