Dr. Soheil Meshinchi is an expert in leukemia biology, peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for children with leukemia, management of post-transplant relapse and targeted therapies for acute myeloid leukemia patients. He provides scientific leadership for many national and international committees and cooperative research efforts. He has a wealth of expertise in genomic profiling and determining the prognostic value of specific molecular alterations in AML and has developed numerous clinical assays that have been implemented in cooperative group trials. Dr. Meshinchi serves as director of the largest genome and transcriptome sequencing project in pediatric and young adult AML and has created a robust biorepository of viable cells, plasma and extracted nucleic acids from over 100,000 specimens from 3,000 patients. He has also fostered a consortium of computational and laboratory scientists to interrogate genomic data generated from these samples in order to guide the development of novel biomarkers and therapeutics.
