Amy Fan
Ph.D. Student in Immunology, admitted Autumn 2016
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsInherited mutations in the RUNX1 gene cause a platelet disorder and increased risk of blood cancers. However, it is still unclear what actually causes progression to cancer in these patients. Using genetic editing, I am investigating how RUNX1 mutations contribute to disease.
