Dr. Luca is Associate Professor of Hematology at the University of Pavia Medical School and with special interest and expertise in myeloid neoplasms, in particular, myelodysplastic and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms. Research activities of the group of Luca Malcovati made a significant contribution to understanding the molecular basis of myeloid neoplasms and to the integration of somatic mutations in the clinical management of patients. These contributions included the identification of recurrent somatically acquired mutations in splicing factors and the elucidation of the clinical and prognostic implications of driver mutations in these disorders.
