Peter Sorger, PhD

Peter Sorger is the Otto Krayer Professor of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School, Head of the Harvard Program in Therapeutic Sciences and Director of the Laboratory of Systems Biology. His research focuses on single cell measurement and modeling of oncogenic networks in cancer and inflammatory diseases and on the interplay between tumor-intrinsic mechanisms of invasion and metastasis and countervailing immune surveillance. This is performed in human cohorts and mouse models to elucidate molecular programs controlling cancer progression and response to therapeutic drugs applied individually and in combination. His group is currently developing a range of experimental and computational methods for high-plex single-cell analysis of human tissue and tumors.
