Research Interests

Research in the Ge laboratory spans the basic biology and development of acute leukemia in children, to combinational therapies and translational studies with primary patient specimens. Studies of the Ge laboratory have concerned the biology of critical transcription factors such GATA1, ETS2, and RUNX1 in AML, including identification of high frequency RUNX1-ETO fusion protein isoforms as determinants of chemosensitivity and leukemogenesis and determination of the roles of GATA1 and EST2 in the biology and chemotherapy responses in a specific subtype of AML, acute megakaryocytic leukemia (AMkL) by using clinically relevant cell lines and diagnostic AML blasts. Most recent studies have been focusing on the molecular basis for the remarkable synergism between histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhbitors (HDACIs) and standard chemotherapy drugs used for treating AML, neuroblastoma, and pancreatic cancer.
