Linda M. Boxer, MD, PhD

Professor

• The molecular mechanisms of deregulation of the oncogenes, c-myc and bcl-2, by translocation into immunoglobulin loci
• How deregulation of these oncogenes disrupts the normal regulatory control mechanisms in hematopoietic cells
• Identification of critical genes and pathways in acute lymphoblastic leukemia in response to chemotherapeutic agents

Steven E. Artandi, MD, PhD

Ami Bhatt, MD, PhD

Assistant Professor

Our laboratory uses molecular, micro- and computational biology techniques to dissect the role of the microbiota in hematological disorders.

We hope to target vulnerabilities in hematological disorders characterizing and modifying the human microbiota, thereby improving patient outcomes.

Beth A. Martin, MD

Clinical Assistant Professor 

Clinical interests include the histiocytoses including HLH/MAS, autoimmune hematology including T-LGL, AIHA, and Castleman.  Educational interests include physical diagnosis, clinical decision-making and communication under desperate circumstances, and chemotherapy.  My research focuses on HLH.

Bruno Medeiros, MD

Associate Professor

My research interests focus on the experimental therapeutics of acute myeloid leukemia with the ultimate goal of improving our understanding of the genomic abnormalities responsible for leukemogenesis and how these abnormalities can be exploited therapeutically. It also includes the development and incorporation of novel agents into the treatment regimens for young and older patients with AML and those with acute leukemia secondary to antecedent hematologic disorders. We have an innovative and highly active clinical-translational research program that has mentored post-doctoral fellows and young faculty members at Stanford and other academic centers. In addition, we have interest in population based approaches to better understand treatment options and outcomes in AML.
