Smita Banerjee
I am an Associate Attending Behavioral Scientist in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at MSKCC. I received my PhD in Health Communication in 2005 from Rutgers University, under the mentorship of Dr. Kathryn Greene. My research is in cancer prevention and control, with special emphasis on the role of communication between oncology health care providers (HCPs) and patients, and message framing for cancer risk prevention. My recent work has primarily been contextualized in the areas of communication skills training to (a) improve sexual and gender minority (SGM) sensitivity for oncology HCPs, (b) reduce stigma experienced by patients with lung cancer who smoke(d), and (c) encourage HCPs to discuss sexual health concerns of cisgender female patients with cancer. My research has been funded by the NCI, NIDA, and philanthropic organizations like T. J. Martell Foundation, Goldstein Foundation, and Geri & Me Foundation. I have published over 85 peer-reviewed manuscripts, 15 reviews and book chapters, and presented in over 100 national and international conferences.
