Biography
r. Blanc received his PhD in Molecular Medicine from the University of Montpellier in 2008. He then moved to New York to do his postdoctoral training at the New York Blood Center in the Red Cell Laboratory and the Mammalian Genetics Laboratory, under the essential mentoring of Drs. Mohandas Narla and Luanne Peters respectively. After three and a half years spent at the New York Blood Center, Dr. Blanc joined the Northwell Health Department of Pediatrics Hematology/Oncology in 2012 initially as a postdoctoral fellow first. Shortly after, he became an Associate Investigator and an Associate Professor of Molecular Medicine and Pediatrics and established the Laboratory of Developmental Erythropoiesis. The two main axes of research are: (i) developmental erythropoiesis and its impairment in pathological conditions and (ii) cancer predisposition in children with Diamond Blackfan anemia. In 2014, Dr. Blanc received the Allied World Career Development Award from the St. Baldrick’s Foundation in order to study this osteogenic sarcoma development in these children.r.
