Speaking on leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma
Prof. Rosen is an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of blood cancers, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphoma, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia and multiple myeloma. His research has previously investigated the role of proteins in cancer metabolism and the use of RNA-directed nucleoside analogs in cancer therapy.
Prof. Rosen has recently been involved in investigating new targets for various blood cancers. His research includes developing novel p38γ inhibitors targeting (CTCL), as well as targeting c-Myc and proteasome inhibitor resistance in myeloma, where the oncogene c-Myc is a key driver.
