Jeffrey Pu

Assistant Professor

biography

Jeffrey J. Pu, MD, Ph.D. is an assistant professor of medicine, pathology, and Biomedical Science Graduate Program at the Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute and Penn State College of Medicine. Prior to this position, Jeff was a senior clinical/research fellow of Hematology/Oncology at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center of Johns Hopkins University. Jeff also completed a NIH supported experimental hematology fellowship and a clinical transfusion medicine/blood banking fellowship at the Lindsley F. Kimball Research Institute of New York Blood Center after completed an internal medicine residency at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Jeff received his Ph.D. from New York Medical College in New York and his MD from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine in Shanghai.

 

Area of Interest

Jeff is always interested in hematopoiesis and stem cell biology. He is pursuing an exciting career as physician-scientist. Currently, Jeff is focusing on bone marrow clonal disease translational research,especially on mechanisms of genomic instability/leukemic transformation and immunopathogenesis of hematopoietic failure disorders
