The Pe’er lab is an interdisciplinary group that combines advanced genomics approaches with machine learning to address fundamental questions in biomedical science. Empowered by potent technologies such as single-cell genomics and imaging-based molecular profiling, we analyze complex data to understand basic biology and disease. Our group is interested in how organisms develop from a single cell to generate a vast diversity of cell types, how epigenetic control over these processes rewires over the course of development, and how cells communicate to execute multicellular responses. We have a longstanding interest in cellular plasticity, the consequences of intra-tumor heterogeneity, the evolution and metastasis of cancer cells, and the mechanisms by which regulatory circuits go awry in disease. By understanding the mechanisms that different cancers use to initiate, progress, spread and interact with the immune system, we can spur the development of personalized therapies and immunotherapies.

Disclosures
Doctors and faculty members often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community.
MSK requires doctors and faculty members to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public.
Dana Pe'er discloses the following relationships and financial interests:
-
Insitro, Inc.
Equity; Professional Services and Activities

There may be differences between information on this and other public sites as a result of different reporting periods and/or the various ways relationships and financial interests are categorized by organizations that publish such data.
This page and data include information for a specific MSK annual disclosure period (January 1, 2022 through disclosure submission in spring 2023). This data reflects interests that may or may not still exist. This data is updated annually.
