Dear Department of Medicine Community:
We are excited to introduce a new faculty member in the Division of Hematology and Oncology. Kehan Ren, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University and will also serve as Assistant Director of Basic Cancer Research within the Division of Hematology and Oncology.
Dr. Ren received his B.S. in Laboratory Medicine from Capital Medical University (Beijing) and his Ph.D. in Pathology from Fudan University. He completed postdoctoral training in angiogenesis at the University of Virginia and Augusta University, followed by a hematology-focused postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Dr. Peng Ji at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, where he also earned an M.S. in Bioinformatics.
Dr. Ren’s laboratory focuses on inflammatory bone marrow microenvironments and innate–adaptive immune crosstalk in clonal hematopoiesis and myeloid disease progression. His work integrates mechanistic immunology with translational human iPSC-derived orgnaoid models to define how stromal and immune cell interactions shape hematopoietic dysfunction and malignant evolution.
Dr. Ren joins Stony Brook with a strong track record of extramural funding and research productivity, including the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Career Development Program Special Fellow Award, the EvansMDS Foundation Young Investigator Award, and an NIH/NCI Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00).
Please join us in welcoming Dr. Ren to the Stony Brook community.
