My research is focused on attaining a better understanding of the initiation, maintenance, and progression of leukemia, toward improving current treatment and/or prevention strategies. In this effort, I employ tools from functional genomics, computational biology, molecular genetics, and mouse models. This work has allowed to establish both a pioneer relationship between stem cells and cancer and a causal link between infection and leukemia. The novel scientific achievements and ideas have not only resulted in high quality publications during his career but also they have crystallized into the first European patent granted in the field of Leukemia/Cancer Stem Cells.
I hope to apply this knowledge to change the way we approach leukemia, from diagnosis and treatment to prevention first.
