Bio
Dr. Jackson is originally from Michigan where he completed his undergraduate degree at The University of Michigan where he also obtained his masters in public health in hospital and molecular epidemiology. He completed medical school at Wayne State University in Detroit before completing pediatrics residency at Northwestern University. He was an instructor of pediatrics at Northwestern for one year before beginning pediatric hematology/oncology fellowship at the Johns Hopkins/NIH combined program. During his time at the University of Michigan, he developed his interest in cancer research while studying adult stem cells and their relationship to cancer stem cells. His current research focuses on the influence of the microenvironment and extracellular matrix on Ewing sarcoma metastasis.

It is clear that effectively treating metastatic sarcoma disease is of paramount importance and one of the most significant challenges facing oncologists today. In attempt to address this challenge, I helped to developed a novel mouse model for studying sarcoma metastasis. This model has led to finding several biological differences within the tumor contingent on the microenvironment and will be utilized as the platform from which to study the microenvironmental influence on Ewing sarcoma cancer stem cells and metastasis. Specifically, the role that integrin/ECM binding play in metastatic potential and the development of distant disease.
