Clonal heterogeneity in acute myeloid leukemia: defining the molecular signature of dominant and dormant clones
Research project from 2014-07-01 to 2017-06-30
Recent evidence suggests that the leukemia stem cell (LSC) population in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is diverse, consisting of both dominant and dormant clones. In many cases, dormant clones persist after ...

Comprehensive molecular characterization of chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Research project from 2013-01-01 to 2016-12-31
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in the Western world. The disease is clinically and biologically heterogeneous and remains incurable. The etiology is unknown. Our main goals ...

DNMT3A in acute myeloid leukemia - exploring mechnisms for leukemogenesis and developing targeted treatment
Research project from 2019-01-01 to 2022-12-31
In this project, we are developing a novel treatment strategy against acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with mutant DNMT3A. In addition, we will define the mechanisms by which DNMT3A mutations drive leukemogenesis.We ...

Targeting mutated DNMT3A in acute myeloid leukemia
Research project from 2016-01-01 to 2018-12-31
In this project, we aim to develop a novel treatment strategy against the most common type of acute leukemia: acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The prognosis for AML patients remains grim with less than 20% ...
