Research Statement
Dr. Mangum's research is in the area of clinical genomics. Under the direction of his mentor, Dr. Will Parsons in the Pediatric Center for Personal Cancer Genomics and Therapeutics, he works with a team of physician-scientists, genetic counselors, and other researchers to investigate the clinical utility of different genetic tests to help understand why certain children develop solid tumors (including central nervous system tumors), lymphomas, or other rare disorders. His specific research interests include studying how tumor cells that are found circulating in a child's blood can be used to better understand the specific genetic changes leading to tumor development and how to track these changes over the course of a child's treatment.
