  • Yasharah Raza is a Ph.D. candidate in molecular & cellular pharmacology, conducting research at Stony Brook Medicine’s Cancer Center. Her translational cancer research focuses on new treatment options for acute erythroid leukemia (one of the most aggressive subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia) where patient survival is only three to nine months on average. She also investigates how sphingolipids—named after the enigmatic sphinx—are involved in supporting both normal and cancerous red blood cells.
