Position Summary

Dr. Nadia Carlesso’s research is focused on the mechanisms of leukemogenesis and identification of novel therapeutic approaches in poor prognosis T-ALL. Following recent laboratory discoveries, her group is exploring novel approaches to target the microenvironment/oncogene cooperation driving chemoresistance and relapse in T-ALL leukemia stem cells.

This project is nested on a larger program directed by Dr. Carlesso that focuses on the relationships between the tumor microenvironment, inflammation, and stem cell biology in hematopoietic diseases. Nadia Carlesso, M.D., Ph.D. | City of Hope
