Sajad Khazal is an Assistant Professor at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. His research focuses on pediatric hematology, oncology, and immunology, with particular expertise in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and cellular therapy for malignant and non-malignant diseases. His recent work includes optimizing conditioning regimens and examining minimal residual disease (MRD) dynamics in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, investigating tandem autologous transplantation for neuroblastoma, and characterizing novel therapies including menin inhibitors for pediatric acute leukemia. He has contributed to multi-institutional research on transplant complications, including infectious etiologies and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity, while also leading global trials for inherited bone marrow failure syndromes and sickle cell disease.
