Clinical Expertise

Dr. Wartman led the study that sequenced the first mouse model of human cancer (a mouse model of APL developed in Timothy Ley's Lab). He recently started his own lab, which is extending the findings from that study to more than 100 banked tumors from the same model. He is studying the role of loss of function mutations in Kdm6a, a histone H3K27 demethylase, in the role of AML and cancer pathogenesis.
