Cancer-Focused Research
My research interests are focused on the diagnosis, therapy, and pathogenesis of pediatric hematopoietic malignancies. We have recently identified that CD317 may serve as a marker for B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (B-ALL) minimal residual disease detection, and I am looking further into the biological significance of loss of CD317 in leukemic blasts, and potential values in therapy and monitoring of disease progression. Additionally, we are collaborating with several groups to study the functional genomics of pediatric variant of follicular lymphoma, a newly-identified entity with little similarity to its adult counterparts.
