Dr. DiPersio’s research focuses on fundamental and translational aspects of leukemia and stem cell biology. These studies include the identification of genetic abnormalities in human leukemias, understanding processes involving stem cell and leukemia cell trafficking, and clinical and translational programs in leukemia/MDS and stem cell transplantation. In addition, Dr. DiPersio will link how Pedal-funded research has led to incredible breakthroughs in immunotherapies that are changing how cancer treatment is provided.
