Jason Weirather PhD

Jason L. Weirather, Ph.D. is a Lead Scientist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) where he leads the Computational Biology Group and provides informatics support to the Center for Immuno-Oncology (CIO). His group focuses on analyzing data from immuno-oncology trials to understand which patients will benefit from immunotherapies by examining the tumor-immune microenvironment and overall state of the patient’s immune system. With data from specialized assays such as multiplexed immunofluorescence (tissue imaging) and mass cytometry (peripheral blood, immune populations), Dr. Weirather and his team work to provide clinicians and researchers with the most informative data and collaborate with the larger DFCI community to improve these analysis methods.
