Research Interests
Dr. Moliterno’s major clinical research involves the study of the chronic
myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs) including polycythemia vera, essential
thrombocytosis and idiopathic myelofibrosis. Her research is focused on the
genetic and epigenetic lesions associated with the MPDs with the goal of
improving diagnosis and treatment for these disorders.
