About Dr. Wei
Dr. Wei is an assistant professor in the research group of Dr. Guillermo Garcia-Manero in the Department of Leukemia, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The studies that she pursue on MDS and AML are under the mentorship of Dr. Guillermo Garcia-Manero, who is well known for his clinical achievement as well as his translational research in the field of leukemia and MDS. Dr. Wei has a PhD with over ten years of molecular and cellular research experience, she helps Dr. Garcia-Manero to design and to monitor research progress. She also has her own research interests concerning MDS/ AML, which is to characterize those molecules that are identified through clinical and translational studies, in basic research types of settings, including in vitro and in vivo biological models. Her goal is to figure out the physiological and pathological role of these molecules and their related molecular signals in hematopoiesis and in MDS/ AML pathogenesis. Her work will further contribute to clinical studies and treatment of MDS/ AML by providing information of potential prognostic markers and/ or therapeutic targets in these diseases.
