Her laboratory is interested in novel resistance mechanisms to targeted therapies in AML, and her group is currently focused on resistance in relapsed/refractory FLT3- mutant AML. In addition to drug resistance, Dr. Jones also has an interest in pharmacoequity, and she is co-leading the health equity efforts within the Division of Oncology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.
