Michael Cleary

Associate Chair for Experimental Pathology, Stanford University School of Medicine and Director of Pediatric Cancer Biology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Dr. Cleary received his MD from the University of Cincinnati Medicine (1981). His laboratory studies the molecular pathogenesis of cancer. They have discovered several genes that are damaged by chromosomal translocations in human leukemias. His group is currently investigating the normal functions of these genes and their contributions to cancer employing a variety of experimental approaches that include biochemical techniques and in vitro cellular transformation assays as well as genetic analyses using transgenic and knockout mouse models.
