Clinical and/or research interests

Dr. Anna Halpern's clinical interests include myeloproliferative neoplasms (polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, myelofibrosis), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Dr. Halpern conducts clinical and outcomes research in myieloproliferatiave neoplasms, MDS and AML. Her overarching research aim is to improve the outcomes of adults with hematologic malignancies via the development and testing of evidence-based, rational therapies that are tailored to individual patients. To this end, she designs and conducts clinical trials testing novel care concepts for patients with myeloid neoplasms and uses large databases to study systems-issues on a broader scale, such as risk factors for toxicities from treatment. She is currently the Principal Investigator for multiple clinical trials for advanced myeloid neoplasms.
