Research summary
AI-generated

Maria Velegraki studies how immune cells, particularly myeloid cells such as monocytes and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (a type of white blood cell that can dampen immune responses), behave abnormally in blood disorders like chronic idiopathic neutropenia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and certain cancers. Her work combines laboratory characterization of patient blood and bone marrow samples with investigation of how these immune cells interact with diseased cells, aiming to identify potential biomarkers and treatment targets. This research sits at the intersection of immunology and blood-related disease (hematology).
