Therapy-related malignancies are a major cause of long-term mortality among childhood cancer survivors. However, it is unclear how exposure to chemo- and/or radiotherapy early in life induces carcinogenesis. My aim is to determine the mechanisms and rate-limiting steps underlying the genesis of second malignancies in childhood cancer survivors. For this, we will focus on studying the etiology of therapy-related myeloid malignancies (t-MNs). I have pioneered methods to characterize mutation accumulation in single stem cells and study clonal lineages in the human hematopoietic system. My lab is embedded in Europe’s largest childhood cancer center, providing the opportunity to apply our…
