Genetics/Epigenetics of Pediatric Leukemia

The goal of our research is to increase our understanding of the leukemogenic process and to investigate the clinical impact of genetic/epigenetic abnormalities in pediatric acute lymphoblastic and myeloid leukemia. In order to achieve this goal, we use several types of “next generation sequencing”, such as whole genome sequencing, whole exome sequencing, and RNA sequencing, and various methylation analyses. By using such analyses we hope to delineate novel subgroups, identify biomarkers of use for risk stratification and targeted therapy, and, ultimately, to improve the survival of children and adolescents with acute leukemias.
