Dr. Dolan has ongoing collaborations with Dr. Celalettin Ustun in the Division of Hematology, Oncology and Transplantation exploring the impact of cytogenetic findings on hematopoietic stem cell transplant outcomes. These projects have investigated the role of classical (G-banding) and molecular cytogenetics (fluorescence in situ hybridization, FISH) in assessing the level of disease burden before bone marrow or stem cell transplantation. In another collaboration with Drs. Ustun, Michael Linden (Laboratory Medicine and Pathology) and others in the United States and internationally, Dolan is exploring the role of mast cells in core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemias.
