About Dr. Ghayas C. Issa
Dr. Issa is a medical oncologist specializing in the care of patients with leukemia. He conducts translational research in the Departments of Leukemia and Genomic Medicine at MD Anderson. His research involves analysis of leukemia genetics in order to better understand causes of progression and response to treatment. As a clinician, he is dedicated to provide high-quality care for all of his patients by helping them decide which therapies work best for them. His goal as a researcher is to more fully understand the genetic underpinnings of leukemia and to develop safe and effective novel therapies.
Dr. Issa has authored numerous research articles and has obtained peer-reviewed funding in support of his research. He has received a number of awards including the Young Investigator Award from the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the Celgene Future Leaders in Hematology Award, and the Kimberly Patterson Fellowship in Leukemia Research.
