OverviewAI-generated summary
Johanna Thomas's research focuses on the therapeutic targeting of chromatin alterations in leukemia and solid tumors. She has investigated the impact of specific genetic mutations, such as TP53, in elderly Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients undergoing treatment with decitabine and all-trans retinoic acid, or valproic acid. Her work includes case studies detailing extended complete remission in patients with high-risk genetics and complex-monosomal karyotype, highlighting the long-term efficacy of decitabine/retinoic acid maintenance treatment.
Beyond her work in hematologic malignancies, Thomas's scholarship extends to broader social work and public health issues. She has explored the experiences of American Indian mothers navigating historical trauma, analyzed transition experiences through the lens of Grand Challenges, and examined the dynamics of street medicine for homeless populations. Additionally, her research has touched upon the tattoo environment as a therapeutic healing space for sexual assault survivors.
