National Cancer Institute
Dr. Machiela’s research is focused on understanding the role of inherited variation and acquired mutations in cancer risk. He is leading studies of large-scale genetic mosaicism to investigate the causes of acquired mosaic chromosomal alterations and their impact on cancer risk. He also conducts and analyzes genetic association studies to investigate the underlying genetic architecture of different cancers (e.g., pediatric and adult cancers).
