Sogol Mostoufi-Moab Research Program

Led by Sogol Mostoufi-Moab, MD, researchers in the Mostoufui-Moab Research Program are studying the long term late effects of hematopoietic stem transplantation (HSCT) on pediatric patients with benign and malignant hematologic disorders. Previous studies in the Mostoufi-Moab program showed that allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (alloHSCT) survivors treated with total body irradiation (TBI) exhibit bone deficits and excess adiposity which can contribute to long term late treatment effects such as impaired glucose metabolism and increased risk of insulin resistance.
