Nina Weichert-Leahey | Professional History

Dr. Weichert-Leahey received her medical degree from the Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich, Germany, in 2010. She subsequently trained in pediatrics at the University Hospital Charité in Berlin, Germany, and completed her residency in Pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital/Boston Medical Center, followed by a fellowship in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Boston Children's Hospital. Her research interests are in pediatric cancer predisposition, cancer genomics, and how to use this knowledge to develop new therapeutics.
