Research and Clinical Interests

The Kogan laboratory aims understand the pathogenesis of acute leukemias and to apply this understanding to extend survival for patients with leukemias and other malignancies. Our scientific focus is to comprehend the alterations in cell fate decisions that govern the transformation of normal hematopoietic cells into AML or ALL. We work to identify genetic changes that contribute to leukemia, delineate how genetic changes combine at the cellular and molecular levels to cause transformation and develop improved treatments using molecularly targeted therapeutics. Clinically Dr. Kogan has a strong interest in the biology and medicine of thrombosis and hemostasis.
