Dr. Julie Schnur received her B.A. in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Clinical Psychology from St. John’s University. She then completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Cancer Prevention and Control at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. During her fellowship, she was awarded a postdoctoral grant from the American Cancer Society. She is currently an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Oncological Sciences and Psychiatry at Mount Sinai, Co-Director of the Integrative Behavioral Medicine Program and a clinician in the Dubin Breast Center at the Tisch Cancer Institute. Schnur’s National Cancer Institute funded grants include a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy and hypnosis to reduce skin toxicity in breast cancer radiotherapy patients, and a project to develop a scale to assess patient-rated skin toxicity in breast cancer radiotherapy patients. She has published 37 articles in peer-reviewed journals. Her future work will focus on investigating re-traumatizing aspects of cancer treatment in adult sexual abuse survivors. Overall, her program of research is focused on applying psychotherapeutic concepts and techniques to improve patients’ quality of life as they navigate through cancer diagnosis, treatment and survivorship.
