Hypomethylating agents (HMAs) are the standard of care for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). However, only around 50% of patients respond to these agents, and responses tend to be transient, with loss of response frequently happening within 2 years and being associated with very poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. Identification of patients who will respond to HMAs is challenging. Mechanisms underlying resistance to HMAs are not clear yet.

35th Anniversary Podcast Series: Dr. Inga Hofmann-Zhang

Dr. Inga Hofmann is a University of Wisconsin Health pediatrician who specializes and is director of pediatric bone marrow transplant and hematology. She is devoted to rare childhood bone failure diseases and myelodysplastic syndromes in her focus and Dr. Hofmann was recently appointed medical director of the PACT program for advanced cell therapy initiative, which is being led by Dr. Jacques Galippo, MD in the Department of Medicine. Dr Hofmann's role with PACT will facilitate an important collaboration between the new GMP lab and pediatric bone marrow transplant program.
