Brian A. Walker studies the genetics and biology of multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow, and related blood cancers. Using genome sequencing and multi-omic approaches (combining data on DNA, gene activity, and epigenetics), the research aims to identify which genetic features make some cases high-risk, how patients respond to drugs, and potential new therapeutic targets. The work also includes clinical-oriented efforts such as consensus definitions of high-risk disease and monitoring residual disease from blood samples.
