About

I have been involved in study of pathogenesis of myeloid malignancies such as MDS and AML. I have elucidated the critical role of signaling pathways (p38 MAP kinase, TGF-beta, smad2/3, IRAK, PRMT5, Glutaminase and others) activation in CH, MDS, AML and this work has directly led to the therapeutic targeting as these pathways in clinical trials in MDS/AML (Nat Cell Bio 2019, JCI 2018, Blood 2015, 2011, JCO 2020, NEJM 2020, Nat Cancer 2024, SciTM 2025, JCI 2025, Can Disc, 2025). I was on the team to first define stem cell alterations in MDS/AML and our work has optimized flow-cytometric and molecular assays to work with small numbers of primary samples (JCI 2024, Nat Med, 2018; JCI 2014, Blood 2012). Our lab has also developed genome wide assays for DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation and used them in a variety of tumor models including pancreatic cancer (Can Disc, 2019; Elife, 2019; JCI, 2018; Gen Res, 2017, NAR 2016, Nat Immunol 2015). I have also conducted clinical studies in hematologic malignancies (Blood 2025, Cancer Cell 2021, Can Disc, 2020; JAMA Onc 2018, Nat Med 2022) that have also studied the effects of COVID-19 and environmental exposures on outcomes and pathogenesis. I have also been actively engaged in early phase clinical trials that are investigating novel agents for CH, MDS and AML.
