Biography

    Adilia Hormigo, MD, PhD is Director of the Neuro-Oncology Program for The Mount Sinai Hospital and the Mount Sinai Health System, and Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology with a secondary appointment in the Departments of Medicine, and Neurosurgery. Dr. Hormigo is a neuro-oncologist specializing in the care of patients with primary brain tumors, CNS metastases, and the neurological complications of cancer and its treatment. She employs a multidisciplinary team approach to ensure that patients receive compassionate, comprehensive care.

    Dr. Hormigo completed a residency in Neurology in Portugal, at the University Hospital of Lisbon Medical School and Portuguese Oncological Institute, as well as at New York Presbyterian-Weill Medical College of Cornell University and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center where she completed both research and clinical neuro-oncology fellowships under Jerome B. Posner and served as Assistant Professor of Neurology and Assistant Member. There she trained a number of fellows, many of whom are now junior faculty in leading programs of neuro-oncology in the country and abroad. Dr. Hormigo obtained her MD with honors from the University of Lisbon Medical School in Portugal, and her PhD from New York University.

    Prior to joining theMount Sinai team, Dr. Hormigo served as Associate Professor in the Departments of Neurology, Oncology, Neurosurgery, and the Center for Translational Neuromedicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Her translational research has focused on studying tumor microenvironment and developing serum markers and more effective treatments for patients with brain tumors. Her goal is to achieve the highest level of patient care and clinical excellence for the neuro-oncology program. She will see patients at the Ruttenberg Treatment Center of the Tisch Cancer Institute.

Industry Relationships

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.

Dr. Hormigo has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.

Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website at http://icahn.mssm.edu/about-us/services-and-resources/faculty-resources/handbooks-and-policies/faculty-handbook. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
