Blog
In this page, we share updates from the lab, including news, presentations, publications, conferences, and other recent highlights. We highlight lab activities, research milestones, student achievements, and events related to cancer biology, systems bioengineering, and data science.
2026
We presented a flask talk in Cancer Research and Data Science Symposium at the University of Virginia. The symposium brought together researchers from UVA Cancer Center and School of Data Science.
Our collaborative project titled “NPM1 Mutation Specific Therapeutic Vulnerabilities in Acute Myeloid Leukemia” has been selected as an awardee for Hematologic Malignancies Translational Research Team (HM-TRT) Pilot Funding FY2026 ($25,000). This project is a collaboration between Dr. Francine Garrett-Bakelman, Dr. Subhash Prajapati and P3SysBioLab. Our undergraduate, Beckett Lisle contributed to the proposal and will work on this project. Congratulations Team!
2025
Our research identifying high-risk AML patients got featured on local news.
Our collaborative team at UVA has been awarded a five-year NCI P01 grant to lead a national study seeking new treatments for Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Our research paper published in Blood Advances is highlighted in UVA News.
P3SysBioLab’s grant titled “Sphingolipid-Based Stratification and Therapeutic Targeting in Acute Myeloid Leukemia” has been selected as an awardee for American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grant (ACS-IRG) FY2025 ($50,000). We will develeop surface marker panels for sphingolipid-based subtyping in AML, and identify therapeutic vulnerabilities within sphingolipid metabolic pathway.
