Adam de Smith

Assistant Professor @KeckMedUSC Center for Genetic Epidemiology. Researching the causes of childhood cancer.

[Adam de Smith @adamdesmith]

New year, new opportunities! Looking for a postdoc to join our group @USC @usc_cge, to work on exciting projects related to understanding the origins of childhood leukemia and disparities in leukemia risk.

🧵 Thrilled to share our latest in @Nature! We’ve mapped fetal blood development in Down syndrome (DS) using single-cell multi-omics, studying why children with DS face a 150-fold higher leukemia risk and blood abnormalities at birth.

Glad to have presented my research at the @AACR 's disparities conference. We leveraged the NAACCRegistry to see if Hispanic/Latinos have higher risk of leukemia across its molecular subtypes! @adamdesmith

[Blood Cancer United @BloodCancerUtd]

🗣️ Breaking ground in pediatric cancer research! This #NationalCancerResearchMonth, we're proud to partner with @adamdesmith, PhD from @KeckMedicineUSC, to uncover the roots of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children. Learn more about his efforts 👉 https://t.co/ZwTN0mlSLU

@KimMillerPhD @uscpphs Congratulations @KimMillerPhD !

[Charleston Chiang @CharlestonCWKC]

So proud that this work is now published @AJHGNews. It was truly an effort of a team of undergrad students (at the time), led by @itscahoon. It was also a project used to introduce new grad students or others just getting into genomic analysis - the team effort really worked out!

[Jun Yang @Junjyang]

The stars are aligning (literally) for our paper to come out today 😂🌞 @jiyang_yu @StJudeResearch

[Pooja Middha @PoojaMiddha21]

Thrilled to see our work on genetic prediction of immune checkpoint inhibitor-mediated colitis published in @NatureComms

@aifbw @nikmanadli @CellGenomics Thanks Alex 😊

[Adam de Smith @adamdesmith]

Excited to see our latest work published in @CellGenomics today!
We found that genetic variation at IKZF1 contributes to the increased risk of ALL in Hispanic/Latino children in the US, and shed light on functional mechanisms underlying IKZF1 risk alleles

[Vijay Sankaran @bloodgenes]

Why do Latino children have the highest risk for childhood leukemia in the US? We identify one cause for this in a paper out in @CellGenomics today, led by @adamdesmith, @LWahlster, @SoYoungJeon_Eli, @fulong_yu, @CharlestonCWKC, & colleagues:
