Seeking a Cure for Leukemia | Hanna Mikkola, M.D., Ph.D.

UCLA Professor Dr. Hanna Mikkola has a bold mission: to cure leukemia. For the past 20 years, she has studied human blood stem cells to uncover the mechanisms that lead to this devastating disease. She is particularly interested in investigating why children with Down syndrome face a higher risk of developing leukemia. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies to trace the origins of these conditions, Mikkola aims to develop precise, targeted therapies that could transform treatment for this vulnerable patient population.
