Dr. Epner's clinical focus involves both transplant and nontransplant approaches to the treatment of lymphoma. His research is focused on understanding the genetic events involved in lymphomagenesis, particularly a unique type of NHL, mantle cell lymphoma that involves deregulated expression of the cyclin D1 gene. His laboratory is working on translating this information into new targeted, nontoxic therapies for mantle cell and other lymphomas.
