Dr. Perez is interested in the fundamental problems of how the bone marrow microenvironment participates in the development of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Primarily a disease of the elderly, MDS can also develop after benzene exposure. As the elderly population in Texas increases and exposure to benzene rises because of emerging petroleum industries across south Texas, so will the need for understanding how the bone marrow microenvironment participates in the development of MDS. Current research in Dr. Perez’s lab focuses on the effects of benzene metabolites on bone marrow stromal cell lines.
