Dr. Burack's research interests include the molecular mechanisms of lymphoma progression and development of molecular methods to refine diagnostics, particularly of lymphomas and leukemias. He recently became co-investigator on a grant to study the role of immune-senescence in lymphomagenesis, the role of immune microenvironment in determining response to therapy, and the role of immune function in the symptoms of lymphoma via analysis of rare immune cell populations by advanced flow cytometry.
This research is being done because we hope that a better understanding of hematologic malignancies will allow us to develop new and better treatments.
The goal of this infrastructure grant is to establish and maintain a cohort of over 12,000 non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients to support broad and cutting-edge research that identifies clinical (including co-morbid diseases), epidemiologic (includin...

Ratings & Comments
At URMC, we believe that patients should be empowered to make the right decisions regarding their
personal
healthcare. To do so, transparency is critical. URMC partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all
aspects of their care experience. We are now putting this pertinent information at your fingertips by displaying
star ratings for our providers along with anonymous patient comments on our website. This will help you make
better-informed choices about how and with whom you seek care. Click here to learn more about the surveys used
to generate this vital information. Learn more about
our survey process.
