Dr. Peiper's research integrates genomic medicine with cancer pathology, focusing on molecular mechanisms driving tumor progression across multiple malignancies. His work bridges hematopathology and solid tumor oncology through investigations of metabolic reprogramming in triple-negative breast cancer, translocation-driven myeloid neoplasms, KRAS mutant pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and immune modulation in the tumor microenvironment. This translational approach reveals critical pathways involving amino acid transporters, exosomal microRNAs, and genetic mutations that influence clinical outcomes.

His publication portfolio demonstrates consistent expertise in molecular oncology, with recent work emphasizing metabolic rewiring in breast cancer, cytogenetic abnormalities in hematologic malignancies, and tumor-immune interactions mediated through ROS and exosomal pathways. These studies collectively advance precision pathology through genomic and molecular characterization of cancer subtypes.
