Research summary
AI-generated

Daniela N. Petrusca studies the biology of blood cancers, especially multiple myeloma and acute myeloid leukemia, focusing on how fat-related molecules (sphingolipids and cholesterol) and gene regulators affect cancer cell survival and drug resistance. The research aims to identify new therapeutic targets for these cancers, and also extends to how immune cells clear debris and how cigarette smoke damages blood vessel and lung cells.
