Title: A Role for Proteasome 26S Subunit, Non-ATPase 3 (PSMD3), in Disease Progression and Drug Resistance of Myeloid Leukemia
Dr. Anna Eiring is an Assistant Professor in the
Department of Molecular and Translational Medicine at Texas Tech University
Health Sciences Center in El Paso, Texas, a Title V Hispanic-serving
institution. Her lab focuses on disease progression and drug resistance in
myeloid leukemias driven by constitutively active tyrosine kinases, namely
BCR-ABL1-driven chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and FLT3-mutated acute myeloid
leukemia (AML). She has published nearly 50 papers on cancer biology and
immunology, and has further interests in understanding the biology underlying
worse outcomes for minority cancer patients.
