RESEARCH DESCRIPTION:
My lab focuses on identification of novel genetic driver mutations in promoting chronic leukemia formation and its malignant transformation to an acute phase using whole exome sequencing. These candidate mutations will subsequently be cloned and validated in leukemia cell lines in vitro and genetically engineered mouse models in vivo.
