Announcements
Armin Rashidi, MD, PhD, received an Institutional Research Grant from the American Cancer Society. With the support of this grant, Dr. Rashidi will lead a translational study to determine whether genetic risk factors contribute to microbiota imbalances in patients who develop acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. By identifying genetic risk factors for acute GVHD, Dr. Rashidi and his team will be able to use personalized genetic testing to identify transplant recipients eligible for novel clinical interventions to prevent acute GVHD. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Rashidi on receiving this award. May 2018
