Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Shmuel Yaccoby's research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying multiple myeloma and identifying potential therapeutic targets. His work investigates the complex interactions within the bone marrow microenvironment, particularly the roles of mesenchymal stem cells and their secreted factors in controlling myeloma cell growth, dormancy, and bone disease.

Recent publications from Yaccoby's laboratory have explored epigenomic alterations in oncogenes, the potential of PHF19 inhibition as a therapeutic strategy, and the expansion of EDNRA-expressing mesenchymal cells in myeloma progression. His group has also studied the impact of mesenchymal stem cell cytotherapy on osteoclastogenesis and myeloma-induced bone disease. Furthermore, his research has examined the effects of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, such as dinaciclib, on homologous recombination and their synergistic potential with PARP inhibitors in multiple myeloma treatment. Yaccoby's work has been recognized through a high-impact researcher designation, supported by a publication record of 199 papers and over 8,000 citations, with an h-index of 46.
