Christopher C. Oakes studies blood cancers such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and lymphomas, focusing on epigenetics (chemical modifications like DNA methylation that control gene activity without changing the DNA sequence itself) and genetic mutations that drive these diseases. His work combines large-scale molecular profiling (multi-omics, meaning several types of biological data analyzed together) with clinical data to improve diagnosis, subtype classification, and prediction of patient outcomes. This research is aimed at understanding how epigenetic and genetic changes contribute to cancer progression and could inform prognostic tools used in clinical settings.

Publication output has been fairly steady over the past decade, with a sharp spike in 2023 followed by a return to more typical annual levels.
