Marghoob Ashfaq A.

Marghoob Ashfaq A., MD

Scientific profile

Marghoob Ashfaq A., MD     Dr. Ashfaq A. Marghoob is an expert in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancers of the skin. He received his MD degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1987 and completed residencies in family medicine and dermatology at SUNY-Stony Brook's University Hospital. He completed a fellowship in melanoma at New York University Hospital. Dr. Marghoob is currently working at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centers in Manhattan and is the director of the outpatient Memorial Sloan-Kettering Skin Cancer Center in Hauppauge (Long Island). In addition to seeing patients he is also involved in clinical research and has published many papers on topics related to malignant melanoma, dysplastic nevi, congenital melanocytic nevi, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Much of his research interests are focused on early recognition of skin cancer by utilizing imaging instruments such as dermoscopy and confocal laser microscopy. He frequently lectures on these topics both nationally and internationally.
