| Karolynn Siegel spent much of her career at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, where she developed and directed a psychosocial research unit in the Department of Social Work. While at Memorial, she was a Member of the Department of Psychiatry as well as Professor of sociology in the Department of Psychiatry at Cornell University Medical College. Dr. Siegel’s recent research has primarily focused on examining the adaptive tasks that individuals living with life-threatening or chronic illness confront and the coping strategies they use in an effort to master these challenges. She is also an active researcher in the areas of bereavement and caregiving. Her research has been funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute on Aging, the National Cancer Institute, the National Institute of Nursing Research, the National Institute of Drug Abuse, the National Institute for Child and Human Development, the (former) Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, the Department of Defense, the American Cancer Society, the New York State AIDS Institute, and various private foundations. Her work is widely published in sociology, health psychology, and medical journals. Dr. Siegel is a former associate editor of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior and has also served as research issues editor for the Journal of Psychosocial Oncology.
