Dr. Sigel is a clinical investigator and epidemiologist with a primary research interest in clinical factors related to the abnormal biology of cancers in the setting of chronic infections, particularly HIV and human papilloma virus (HPV). His clinical interests include issues associated with the care of aging HIV infected patients with a particular interest in cancer risk and management in this group. He has served as the primary care physician for a panel of patients with HIV since 2009.
Dr. Sigel received his BS, MPH, and MD degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his PhD from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
