The Malek lab is studying the genomics of hematological malignancies with long-standing interests in CLL, AML and Follicular Lymphoma. The research findings inform on the basic biology of blood cancers and allow for novel translational directions. Examples of work include the genomic characterization of CLL in various disease phases, the development of novel MRD assays in AML and the dynamics of AML evolution at relapse. Another programmatic focus area is the identification and functional characterization of recurrently mutated genes in FL and opportunities for FL targeting.
