Translational Research on Hematological Neoplasms
Research group
The Translational Research on Hematological Neoplasms Group (GRETNHE) is integrated within the Cancer Programme from the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute (IMIM). The GRETNHE is a multidisciplinary group with different research areas. Among them, the most relevant are myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms/myelodysplastic syndromes (MPN/MDS), chronic lymphocytic leukemia/monoclonal B cell lymphocytosis (CLL/MBL), mantle cell lymphoma/monoclonal asymptomatic lymphocytosis cyclin D1 positive (MCL/MALD1), splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) and cutaneous lymphomas (CL). Our aim is the phenotypic, cytogenetic and molecular characterization of these entities.
