Research Interest
My research interest has been the molecular biology of leukemic transformation and myeloid differentiation. A major focus of my laboratory has been the mechanism underlying differentiation arrest in myeloid leukemia, investigating acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) as a model system. My group first cloned the NPM-RAR translocation that characterizes the t(5;17) variant of APL, and we have had an active program studying the mechanism by which NPM-RAR generates the leukemic phenotype. I am a physician/scientist in the Division of Hematology/Oncology in the Department of Medicine, and a member of the Cancer Therapeutics Program of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute.
Clinical Interest
Benign and Malignant Hematology, Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndrome, Myeloproliferative diseases, CML
