Jonathan Peled, MD, PhD
Bone Marrow Transplant Specialist & Cellular Therapist
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

About Me
- Assistant Attending Physician
Please note that Dr. Peled’s clinical practice is dedicated to the care of hospitalized patients. He does not accept appointments.
I am a medical oncologist who specializes in bone marrow transplantation and cellular therapies for blood cancers, including leukemias, multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndrome, and lymphoma.
I have always been interested in biology, cancer, and the immune system. I chose a career in oncology because of the exciting developments ongoing in the field and the opportunity to form deep relationships with patients and their families. When caring for patients, I try to consider the patient’s and family’s needs holistically. I strive to pay attention to all the technical details without losing sight of the bigger picture — the patient’s goals, values, and quality of life.

Bone marrow transplantation in particular is a powerful way to potentially cure cancers of the blood, and I am interested in how the transplanted immune system from the donor accomplishes this. One of the major problems in bone marrow transplantation is graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a complication that can occur after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant. GVHD can happen when donor’s immune system attacks the patient’s organs. If we can find a way to reduce or eliminate this problem, many more patients could benefit from the cures that transplantation can offer. This is the motivation that drives the research I do alongside providing patient care.
I also run a laboratory that studies how the bacteria that live within our intestines — the microbiome —affect our immune system and the success of cancer immunotherapy.
I live in Westchester County with my wife and three sons and enjoy theater and tennis.
