Alan Cantor is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and serves as the Deputy Chief of the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at Boston Children's Hospital. He graduated from Washington University Medical School and completed his internship and residency at St. Louis Children's Hospital, followed by a postgraduate fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Dr. Cantor's research aims to understand the gene regulatory mechanisms involved in normal blood cell development and how their dysregulation leads to human blood disorders. His lab focuses on elucidating transcriptional mechanisms that regulate normal hematopoiesis and how these processes are perturbed in leukemia predisposition disorders. His recent research investigates the bone marrow microenvironment, utilizing various techniques such as proteomic approaches, chromatin immunoprecipitation combined with high throughput DNA sequencing, gene targeting in mice, and RNA editing to analyze inherited thrombocytopenias and predisposition to leukemia.
