Biography

Neil Horowitz, MD

Dr. Horowitz received his medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine in 1996. He subsequently completed his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Washington Medical Center in 2000, and his fellowship in Gynecologic Oncology at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in 2003. He joined the staff of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women's Hospital in 2007, where he is a surgeon and clinical investigator in the Division of Gynecologic Oncology. Prior to joining Dana-Farber Cancer Institute he was an attending physician at Massachusetts General Hospital. His research focuses on complex gynecologic surgery, molecular imaging in gynecologic cancers, and development of novel therapies for gynecologic malignancies.
