Inga Peter

Inga Peter, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Her research bridges genetics, genomics, and clinical applications, with a focus on complex diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Parkinson’s disease, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the context of HIV/AIDS. Her work emphasizes multi-disciplinary approaches, integrating population genetics and biomarker analysis.

Education:

• MSc, Tel Aviv University
• PhD, Tel Aviv University
• Postdoc, Tufts University

Her research explores the genetic underpinnships of diseases like IBD, Parkinson's, and CKD, leveraging genome-wide association studies and polygenic risk score analyses. This work has implications for understanding disease manifestation and improving patient outcomes in diverse clinical populations.

She is affiliated with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where she holds office at the Icahn (East) Building (Floor 14, Room 70D) and the Annenberg Building (Clinical Research Center). Her contributions to biomedical research are supported by collaborations across institutions and disciplines.
