Becker's Healthcare September 17, 2025
In May 2024, New Hyde Park, N.Y.-based Northwell Health and the Start Center for Cancer Research — a global network of clinical trial sites — established a partnership to bring an early-stage clinical trial site to Northwell’s R.J. Zuckerberg Cancer Center, also in New Hyde Park.
The organizations have since appointed Geraldine O’Sullivan Coyne, MD, PhD, to lead the newly established Start unit. She recently helped launch Start Dublin after serving for seven years at the National Cancer Institute.
Dr. O’Sullivan Coyne and Richard Carvajal, MD, medical director and deputy physician-in-chief of medical oncology at the Northwell Cancer Institute, spoke to Becker’s about why and how the Start partnership will push clinical trial innovation forward.
