Susan Zolla-Pazner is an American research scientist who is a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases and the Department of Microbiology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and a guest investigator in the Laboratory of Molecular Immunology at The Rockefeller University, both in New York City. Zolla-Pazner's work has focused on how the immune system responds to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and, in particular, how antibodies against the viral envelope develop in the course of infection.

In 1981, Zolla-Pazner and other researchers initially described the immunologic abnormalities afflicting homosexual men in New York City who were dying from an unknown sickness. In the years since, she has examined the body's immune response to the virus. She is the co-inventor on 23 patents and the author of more than 325 scientific publications. Provided by Wikipedia
