Translational genomics in childhood cancers is the central focus of the Diskin Lab, which works to identify the inherited and acquired genetic drivers of cancer by combining quantitative computational methods with rigorous experimental approaches in the lab.

Dr. Diskin's research is focused on translational genomics in childhood cancers. Her laboratory seeks to identify the genetic basis of childhood cancers by combining quantitative computational methods with rigorous "wet-lab" experimental approaches. In parallel, she has developed, and is applying, a proteogenomic approach to identify novel immunotherapeutic targets for high-risk and relapsed pediatric malignancies.
