Dr. Spivak's research interests are focused on the chronic myeloproliferative disorders with particular emphasis on the molecular basis of these disorders and the means for distinguishing them both diagnostically and with respect to therapeutic intervention. Using techniques to analyze gene expression in polycythemia vera stem cells, he has found that polycythemia vera patients can be distinguished from patients with erythrocytosis and also divided into two groups, those with an aggressive disease and those with a more indolent illness. Dr. Spivak and his colleagues are also studying the role of specific molecular markers identified at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere with respect to the pathogenesis of polycythemia vera as well as its diagnosis.
