Dolores J. Lamb, PhD joined Weill Cornell Medicine in 2018 as Professor of Molecular Biology in Urology, Vice Chair for Research (Urology) and Director of the Center for Reproductive Genomics. She holds the Dow Professorship of Urology and serves as Associate Dean, Faculty Affairs. Dr. Lamb is an investigator in the fields of urology, steroid hormone action and birth defects. She was among the first researchers seeking to define the genetic basis of male infertility. She reported the first spermatogenesis gene defect identified in men with spermatogenic failure and to use whole exome sequencing to define a novel gene mutation in a family with non-obstructive azoospermia. She used array comparative genomic hybridization to reveal that disorders of sexual differentiation are due to microdeletions and microduplications of dosage-sensitive genes. She has an extensive background in both the clinical diagnostic and the basic science arenas in men's health, and has a remarkable record of achievement in the mentoring and development of clinician-scientists. Dr. Lamb was recognized by the American Society of Andrology (ASA) with the Distinguished Andrologist Award, the inaugural recipient of the Distinguished Researcher Award from ASRM, the Distinguished Mentor Award from the AUA Foundation, Christina Manthos Mentoring Award from the Society for Women in Urology, Endocrine Society’s Laureate Award for mentoring and Kavoussi Family Teacher Award from the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). She is a former president of ASRM, ASA, American Association of Bioanalysts, Society for the Study of Male Reproduction, Society for Basic Urologic Research, Soceieties for Women in Andrology, Women in Enocrinology, Society for Male Reproduction and Urology. She is Secretary Treasurer on the American Board of Bioanalysts. Dr. Lamb is continuously funded by the NIH for 40 years for her work on the genetic and genomic basis of urological diseases in andrology, oncology, pediatric urology.
