Research Interest :

Dr. Lan Wang’s research focuses on understanding the pathogenesis of hematological malignancies and stem cell studies. Specifically, Dr. Wang is interested in identifying the genes disrupted in these disorders and developing new therapeutic strategies for patients with these diseases. Blood cells are generated by hematopoietic stem cells, which are proposed to be the cell of origin in leukemia. Dr. Wang’s research aims to understand how the behavior of these stem cells goes awry when they become transformed. Cancer stem cells exhibit a loss of normal growth control mechanisms, leading to abnormal cell division, survival, and expansion. The development of hematological malignancies is commonly associated with aberrant transcriptional regulation, where genes are inappropriately turned on or off. In most cases, correcting these abnormalities would block the development or progression of hematological malignancies in patients.
