Manoj M Pillai is an Associate Professor in Medical Oncology and Hematology at Yale University. He is a physician-scientist who focuses on the regulation of hematopoiesis through the study of small RNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and RNA binding proteins in the bone marrow microenvironment. His work employs genome-wide transcriptomic techniques to explore these mechanisms in normal physiology and in clonal myeloid disorders. Dr. Pillai treats patients as a practicing hematologist at Yale New Haven Hospital, particularly those with hematological malignancies such as leukemia. His research interests also include the biology of mutations in the spliceosome linked to Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) and the role of Musashi proteins in aggressive myeloid leukemia. His lab combines innovative techniques with clinical insights to contribute to the understanding of these complex diseases and to develop targeted therapies. Dr. Pillai has a robust publish record with numerous citations and collaborations with multiple researchers.
