Gad A. Getz

Gad A. Getz, PhD, is a Professor of Pathology at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and leads the Getz Lab at the Broad Institute and the Krantz Family Center for Cancer Research. His work bridges cancer genomics, computational biology, and clinical translation, focusing on somatic/germline mutations and molecular subtyping to inform cancer therapeutics.

Research interests span:

• Cancer genome characterization via DNA/RNA sequencing
• Clonal evolution and resistance mechanisms in hematological malignancies
• Development of analytical pipelines for large-scale genomic projects
• Identification of therapeutic vulnerabilities using functional screens

His recent articles (2024–2025) predominantly explore hematological cancers (e.g., myeloma, lymphoma) using multi-omics approaches. Trends include leveraging single-cell technologies, machine learning for classification, and atlas-based resource generation for precision oncology.

Dr. Getz oversees the Getz Lab, which maintains collaborative data portals like the CLL-map Portal and GTEx Project Portal, facilitating global research dissemination.
