Ernst Robert Lengyel is an American gynecologic oncologist. Lengyel is the Arthur L. and Lee G. Herbst Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Chicago. Lengyel directs the Ovarian Cancer Research Laboratory, a translational research laboratory focused on understanding ovarian cancer metastasis and on developing and testing new treatments for ovarian cancer. In this role, Lengyel and his research team investigate the role of metabolism in ovarian cancer metastasis and the role of the fallopian tube in the development of ovarian cancer as the cells more closely resemble those in the fallopian tube rather than the ovary.
