Angelo A. Cardoso, M.D., Ph.D.
Angelo Cardoso, M.D., Ph.D., brings two decades of international, groundbreaking leukemia research to his new role at the Center for Gene Therapy.
Dr. Cardoso was educated in Portugal, where he received his medical degree. He earned his Ph.D. from University of Paris, after completing doctoral research work in France, Portugal and here in the U.S. at Harvard's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. He spent a decade at Harvard Medical School and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute as an Instructor of Medicine, then taught medicine and molecular genetics at Indiana University School of Medicine.
Dr. Cardoso focuses on the genetic mechanism of leukemia, especially acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children.
At the Center for Gene Therapy, Dr. Cardoso will examine, in his words, “molecular crosstalk between leukemia cells and the bone marrow microenvironment,” as the disease progresses. One of his goals will be to develop “selective inhibitors for high-risk and refractory, relapsed pediatric ALL.”
