Dr. Liron Bar-Peled is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and the Cancer Center at Massachusetts General Hospital. His research focuses on deciphering fundamental mechanisms of stress signaling in cancer states and employing chemical proteomic platforms to discover new therapies for cancer. Liron’s lab has made key contributions to understanding how cells sense and respond to oxidative stress and developing small molecule inhibitors against difficult to drug cancer drivers.

Liron’s achievements have been widely recognized and include the AACR-MPM Transformative Award, the Damon Runyon-Rachleff Innovation Award, the Melanoma Research Foundation Young Investigator Award, the Weintraub Award and the Science-SciLifeLab Prize.

Liron earned a Ph.D in Biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, followed by postdoctoral training at the Scripps Research Institute.
