Dr. Myers' research centers on pediatric hematology/oncology with emphasis on sickle cell disease management, cancer survivorship models, and pharmacogenetics of chemotherapy. His clinical investigations address critical gaps in hemoglobinopathy care, survivorship protocols, and personalized treatment approaches for childhood malignancies. Current academic activities include teaching foundations of clinical practice, hematology/oncology lectures, and scholarly concentration project mentorship at IUSM-FW.

Publication analysis reveals consistent translational research bridging laboratory science and clinical practice. Key thematic areas include innovative interventions for iron overload in sickle cell disease, late-effect management frameworks for cancer survivors, and pharmacogenomic applications in acute leukemias. His work frequently addresses health disparities in urban populations and comorbid conditions affecting pediatric patients.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Hyundai Scholar of Survivorship (awarded twice)

As an educator, Dr. Myers has held continuous leadership roles in medical student and pediatric resident education since 2005.
