About
The Murakami Lab at DFCI studies minimal residual disease in B-cell leukemia and lymphoma
and aims to translate mechanistic discoveries into individualized therapies to improve patient outcomes
by utilizing our repository of preclinical models including patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse models,
access to conventional and experimental therapeutic agents,
expertise in lymphoid genomics and bioinformatics, novel single-cell biophysical and molecular profiling platforms,
and involvement in early phase clinical trials.
