Research Interest

Dr. Jason Cheng’s research is aimed at understanding epigenetic and genetic controls of both normal and abnormal hematopoiesis, especially, myelopoiesis. Dr. Jason Cheng’s laboratory is currently developing and implementing new technologies for genome-wide profiling of epigenetic biomarkers/signatures and exploring their potential clinical use for assisting diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic management of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), leukemia and other diseases. Another major effort in Dr. Cheng’s laboratory is to elucidate pathogenetic mechanisms underlying epigenetic alterations in MDS, leukemia and bone marrow diseases. Dr. Jason Cheng’s clinical interests include general hematopathology, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms, other bone marrow diseases and lymphoid disorders.
