RESEARCH SUMMARY
Dr. Shalabi's primary research interests are novel immunotherapy targets for chemo-resistant acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Her clinical focus is the treatment of relapsed/refractory pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies utilizing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies. Additional areas of interest include neurocognitive effects of immunotherapy in pediatric patients and bone marrow transplantation for patients with malignant and non-malignant diseases.
Areas of Expertise
1) pediatric leukemia 2) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy for pediatric leukemia 3) immunotherapy for relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies 4) cognitive effects post-immunotherapy
