About

Dr. Wartman led the study that sequenced the first mouse model of human cancer (a mouse model of leukemia developed in Dr. Timothy Ley's Laboratory). He recently started his own lab and is studying the role of loss of function mutations in Kdm6a, a histone H3K27 demethylase, in cancer pathogenesis. He also collaborates with investigators at The Genome Institute to organize a monthly Genomics Tumor Board.
