Partnerships
The Herbert and Florence Irving Institute for Cancer Dynamics (IICD) collaborates with several partners, located both within and outside the Columbia community. Read more about IICD main collaborators below.
The more than 250 researchers at the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center are organized into eight research programs. Program activities focus on different aspects of cancer, from its molecular and cellular mechanisms through its unique behavior in different tissues to statistical aspects of its occurrence and treatment in large populations. Nonetheless, the members of each program share a commitment to reduce cancer incidence and tumor progression and to improve the quality of life of those affected by cancer.

The Genome Center Cancer Group and the Polyethnic-1000 initiatives serve as models for our new Computational Cancer Genomics Working Group led by Dr Simon Tavaré (NYGC and Columbia University) and Dr Sohrab Shah (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center). This group will build collaborations that apply novel statistical approaches and population-level analyses to major cohorts in cancer genomics.
NYGC Core Faculty Members Marcin Imielinski, MD, PhD; Dan Landau, MD, PhD; and Neville Sanjana, PhD, are all also engaged in pioneering cancer research. For more information: https://www.nygenome.org/research-areas/cancer/
