Research Interest

My work focuses on advancing treatments for pediatric hematologic malignancies through the use of novel graft manipulation techniques (TCR αβ T cell depletion) in bone marrow transplantation, and CAR-T cell therapies. My research also explores memory like NK cells as a promising immunotherapy for AML. Additionally, I am dedicated to improving strategies to prevent and manage viral infections after bone marrow transplant, aiming to enhance outcomes for pediatric transplant recipients.
