3415 BAINBRIDGE AVE BRONX NY, 10467About
Daniel A. Weiser, MD, is board-certified in pediatric hematology/oncology with clinical expertise in neuroblastoma and other tumors of the adrenal glands, kidneys, liver, and gonads. He is the medical director of the intra-abdominal solid tumor program at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore and brings together a highly specialized multi-disciplinary care team to provide comprehensive treatment for diverse pediatric malignancies. In addition, Dr. Weiser directs a childhood cancer research laboratory that focuses on the identification of new targeted agents for cancer therapy, especially in the treatment of rare and aggressive malignancies such as neuroblastoma. His research goals are to understand the role of certain genes in the risk, development, and treatment of cancer. The approaches taken and agents studied hold promise for improving management of all patients with solid tumors.
Dr. Weiser participates in the efforts of a number of professional organizations including the Children’s Oncology Group (COG), American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), Advances in Neuroblastoma Research Association (ANRA), and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). He has received numerous awards including the Brigid Leventhal Special Merit Award from ASCO and the Conquer Cancer Foundation, and a prestigious K12 from the National Cancer Institute for the training of the next generation of physician-scientists in pediatric cancer. Dr. Weiser is actively involved in teaching and mentorship of trainees, and takes great pride in providing advanced and compassionate care to his patients and their families.

Areas of research
Our research focus is on the most highly aggressive malignancies, including neuroblastoma, osteosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and other rare tumors that affect children. Using novel approaches with molecular profiling data integration and correlative functional experiments, we aim to bring new treatments to the forefront of clinical care. By understanding the underlying biology of those patients with de novo chemotherapy resistance, we apply a rigorous scientific approach to strategically prioritize work that will have the greatest impact on the greatest number of patients in as short a time as possible.
Dr. Weiser's clinical expertise in pediatric oncology integrates with the laboratory's scientific pursuits. Every project is carefully planned to have an immediate impact and positive effect on patient care.
Our mission:
Improve outcomes for children with cancer by discovering new biomarkers and improving therapies. We work collaboratively with experts across a range of disciplines to advance the field through the introduction of novel management strategies.
Promote the highest professional and scientific standards. Our collegial and academically rigorous laboratory group promotes critical thinking, interdisciplinary engagement, and unique opportunities with higher-risk/higher-reward projects.
Foster career development. With recognition of our strong belief in mentorship and recognition of talent, we welcome trainees at all levels, from high school students to post-doctoral fellows and research associates. Through diverse personnel, we enrich our scientific exploration and strengthen our potential for breakthroughs in the field.
