Biography
Justin Taylor, MD, is a physician-scientist devoted to improving outcomes for patients with hematologic malignancies. The Taylor lab studies the role of recurrent mutations in hematologic malignancies and how to target them with novel therapeutics using animal modeling, molecular biology, and single-cell genomic techniques. Dr. Taylor holds a faculty position in the Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology where he sees patients with hematologic malignancies. He completed residency in Internal Medicine at the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Hematology/Oncology fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center followed by post-doctoral training in the lab of Omar Abdel-Wahab, MD. He is the principal investigator on grants sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (K08), American Society of Hematology, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Edward P. Evans Foundation for MDS. He has received Young Investigator Awards from ASCO Conquer Cancer Foundation, Hairy Cell Leukemia Foundation, and Evans MDS Foundation. -

Research Interests
Dr. Taylor is a physician-scientist devoted to improving outcomes for patients with cancer. He is an Associate Professor and member of the Translational and Clinical Oncology program at the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. The Taylor lab studies the genetics of hematologic malignancies and development of novel therapeutics using animal modeling, molecular biology and single-cell genomic techniques. The focus of the lab is on understanding how genetic alterations in leukemia contribute to oncogenesis or therapeutic resistance. The lab uses molecular biology, genomics, proteomics and mouse modeling to determine the mechanisms and potential targetable weaknesses of these genetic alterations. They also study the potential role for combination targeted therapies. Specifically, they are currently investigating nuclear export and kinase signaling pathways. Dr. Taylor also holds a faculty position in the Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology where he sees patients with hematologic malignancies. -
