Jeffry Simko, MD, PhD completed his BS in chemistry at the University of Delaware in Newark, where he was honored with an Analytical Chemistry Award from the University's American Chemical Society in 1984 before graduating in 1985. Simko held a number of positions while earning his PhD at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. These included working as a Visiting Engineer for the Watson Research Center in New York; as a Research Associate participating in the Frontier Research Program at The Institute of Physical and Chemical Research in Japan; and as a Visiting Scientist in the Department of Biophysics at Beijing Medical University in China. Simko continued his education, studying medicine at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. As a medical student he was awarded three fellowships, the Howard Hughes Trust Fund fellowship, the NUC School of Medicine Foreign fellowship and the Medical Alumni Association Research fellowship.

After earning his MD in 1996 Simko completed his residency in pathology at UCSF, followed by a fellowship at Brigham and Womens' Hospital, Harvard Medical School in molecular genetic pathology. Simko returned to UCSF for additional fellowship training in surgical pathology. A member of the Pathology Department's faculty since completing his fellowship in 2001, Simko joined the Urology Department with a joint appointment in 2007. He is a member of the Prostate Cancer Center, where his efforts are focused on genitourinary pathology. Simko's research includes radiologic-pathologic correlation studies and imaging technology development, biomarker discovery, clinical-pathologic correlation studies, and tumor model construction and characterization.
