“Looking back, my whole career has been about data sharing,” said Dr. Mignon Lee-Cheun Loh (she/her), who has worked with colleagues worldwide to collect leukemia-specific patient data over time. Even in medical school, she knew she wanted to work in pediatric oncology. Since then, she’s treated children with different childhood cancer types, from the most common to the rarest.

Inspired by her patients’ resilience, Mignon leads breakthrough research in leukemia to understand the genetic landscape of cancer and determine treatment intensity. She's also using genomic discoveries to identify potential new leukemia drugs.

For her, CCDI presents “awesome opportunities to sequence patients’ leukemias at diagnosis and relapse,” said Mignon. “We can then contribute to databases and collaborate with those who specialize in data analysis to come up with meaningful predictions.”
