Sean Tracy, MD, PhD

Dr. Tracy graduated from the combined MD/PhD program at Tufts University, receiving his PhD in Immunology. His graduate research focused on the basic biology of the Epstein-Barr Virus. He subsequently completed his residency in Internal Medicine at the Mayo Clinic. During residency, he studied clinical outcomes of patients with lymphoma. He then enrolled in the fellowship program in Hematology, Oncology, and Transplantation at the University of Minnesota, where he was selected for the T32 academic research track. His research now examines mechanisms of immune escape by leukemias and lymphomas. Both his research interest and clinical practice have a particular focus on acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He joined the faculty at the University of Minnesota in 2021.
