Jeevisha Bajaj is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Genetics at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), affiliated with the Wilmot Cancer Institute and the Genetics, Development, and Stem Cells Ph.D. Program. Her research focuses on understanding how cancer stem cell interactions with their microenvironment drive disease progression in hematological malignancies, particularly myeloid leukemias.

Her lab employs genetic mouse models, primary human patient samples, CRISPR screening, and real-time imaging to investigate the role of the tumor microenvironment in leukemic growth and propagation. Recent studies highlight the importance of taurine signaling, inflammatory pathways, and RNA-binding proteins in disease mechanisms.
Key research trends from her publications include the role of taurine transporters in stromal cell function, glycolytic metabolism in leukemogenesis, and the regulation of asymmetric division in cancer stem cells. These studies often intersect with CRISPR-based genomic approaches and single-cell analyses of tumor niches.
