Aplastic Anemia

As a physician caring for patients with acute leukemias and related disorders, I have a sustained focus on translational research in hematologic malignancies. Genomic sequencing technology revolutionized our understanding of cancer biology. My research focuses on exploring the dynamic changes of tumor immune microenvironment with clonal evolution of myeloid malignancies. Targeting inflammaging of bone marrow to impede clonal evolution is my ultimate professional goal and there by improve the survival rate for leukemia patients. My long-term goal is to develop potentially less toxic targeted

I am both a hematologist-oncologist and a clinical researcher. Along with caring for you, I conduct research focused on hematologic (blood-based) malignancies — specifically, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia and myelofibrosis. My overarching research aim is to help adults with these diseases have better outcomes by developing and testing evidence-based therapies that are tailored to your unique needs as a patient. I design and conduct clinical trials testing novel care concepts for people with AML and MDS, and I use

Dr. Kanwaldeep Mallhi is a pediatric oncologist and hematologist who specializes in nonmalignant blood disorders in children. These disorders include immunodeficiencies, bone marrow failure and metabolic errors. She is an expert in pediatric blood stem cell transplants, and her research focuses on alternative donor sources and the development of reduced-intensity conditioning regimens, which use radiation, chemotherapy or other procedures to remove diseased or failing cells prior to transplant.
