About the research group

Our main research areas are:

  • Biological and functional characterization of primary human AML cells and their interactions with stromal elements
  • Experimental studies of efficiency and toxicity (especially immunotoxicity) of both new targeted therapies and already established therapeutic strategies in human AML.

 

The Leukaemia Research Group is headed by Professor MD Håkon Reikvam.
