Zachary Hunter has been with the Bing Center for over five years and has worked on multiple organizational and scientific projects during that time. His current research involves characterizing the role of IgG and IgA deficiency in Waldenstom’s Marcoglobulinemia as well as a large study examining the characteristics and genetics of families with a history of WM and other B-cell disorders. He holds a BA in mathematics from Haverford College and is a graduate student at the Boston University department of pathology. He is doing his thesis research with the Bing Center under Drs. Steven Treon of Dana-Farber and Christopher Andry of Boston University. His most recent publications are list below:
