Professional Bio
Dr. Mullen serves as the Chief of the Pediatric Hematology / Oncology Division. He is also the Director the Fellowship Program. He has joint appointments as Professor in both the Department of Microbiology and Immunology and Professor in the Department of Oncology.
Research Bio
Dr. Mullen current research work examines the bone marrow microenvironment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The current goal of the work is to identify the molecular mechanisms by which nonmalignant cells in the marrow microenvironment that provide antiapoptotic support for leukemia cells. Ultimately this may identify new "drug-able" targets that may improve leukemia therapy.
