Lamb Endowed Chair in Symptom Management Research in the School of Nursing at the University of California in San Francisco. She is the first nurse to be awarded an American Cancer Society Clinical Research Professorship.

Dr. Miaskowski’s program of research focuses on the identification of phenotypic and molecular characteristics that place patients at increased risk for the development of the most deleterious symptoms that occur from cancer and its treatment. With over 35 years of continuous NIH funding, Dr. Miaskowski has done intervention studies to improve cancer pain management, as well as longitudinal studies to characterize inter-individual variability in numerous symptoms experienced by cancer patients and their family caregivers. Dr. Miaskowski is the author of over 750 peer-reviewed publications and four books.
