Dan A. Landau, MD, PhD, is a Core Faculty Member at the New York Genome
Center. He holds a joint appointment as Associate Professor of Medicine
in the Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology and the Department of
Physiology and Biophysics at Weill Cornell Medicine. The Landau Lab develops computational and experimental tools to study
cancer evolution. Their research is geared towards uncovering basic
principles in evolutionary biology, using both patient-derived samples
and experimental systems for modeling cancer evolution. In addition, the team seeks to apply this knowledge to designing the next generation of
precision medicine tools to overcome cancer evolution, as a central
challenge to cancer cure today.
