People · The Mohi Lab
The lab as a
differentiation tree.
The PI at the apex; postdocs, research staff, and graduate students as differentiated lineages. Seven people, one set of questions about the molecular basis of blood cancer.
At the apex
Twenty years of asking the same question, with sharper tools each time.
Dr. Mohi’s record runs from the postdoc-era Shp2 work in Ben Neel’s lab at Harvard, through the lab’s foundational JAK2V617F knock-in mouse, to the active multicenter trial of TP-3654 / Nuvisertib in myelofibrosis. Eight Blood papers, five Leukemia papers, plus Nature Communications, Cancer Research, Cancer Cell, PNAS in MPN alone.
Full profile · contributions to scienceFour lineages, working in parallel.
The postdoctoral team carries the day-to-day work across the lab’s six fronts — from JAK2 mouse models to the IL-1 axis to the splicing-factor program.
