Epidemiology & Biostatistics

The Ronglai Shen Lab

Ronglai Shen, PhD

Attending Biostatistician

Professor

My research has focused on the development of novel statistical and bioinformatic methodologies that facilitate the study of translational research questions in cancer genomics and immuno-oncology. I developed several algorithms including iCluster and FACETS that are widely used in research community.

Disclosures

Doctors and faculty members often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community.

MSK requires doctors and faculty members to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public.

Ronglai Shen discloses the following relationships and financial interests:
