      Assistant Professor, Hematopoietic Biology and Malignancy, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX

      Research Interests

      The Bachireddy laboratory leverages high dimensional data in blood cancers to deconvolute co-evolving cancer-immune interactions in the microenvironment that dictate patient immunotherapeutic outcomes. Integrated with functional genomic perturbations, such insights will transform our understanding of disease pathogenesis and nominate targets for developing next generation immunotherapies
