Andreeff joined MD Anderson in 1990 after having worked at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York in the Departments of Pathology and Leukemia. Andreeff has been a pioneer in flow cytometry since 1971, when he established the first flow cytometry laboratory at the University of Heidelberg and organized the first European meeting on flow cytometry. In 1977, he joined Drs. Melamed and Darzynkiewicz at Memorial Sloan Kettering and became head of the Leukemia Cell Biology and Hematopathology flow cytometry laboratory. He is professor of medicine and holds the Paul and Mary Haas Chair in Genetics. He is principal investigator of a P01 grant entitled “The Therapy of AML” and participates as PI in the Leukemia and Breast Cancer SPOREs and the CML P01 at MD Anderson. He heads the Section of Molecular Hematology and Therapy, which is adjacent to the North Campus Flow Cytometry Core Facility. Andreeff provides overall direction of the core facility and assists users with the design and implementation of their experiments. He develops and evaluates new technologies and applications. In the last five years, he recruited and trained Douglas Weidner, Ph.D., Randall Evans, Ph.D., and Jared Burks, Ph.D., as well as Wendy Schober, and selected and secured funds from the institution for new equipment. He will continue to dedicate 10% of his time to the core facility.

Burks obtained his Ph.D. from Texas A&M University working on protein trafficking to the cell surface and nucleus during baculovirus infection. His post-doctoral work at Baylor College of Medicine in the department of Surgery focused on p53 protein trafficking during CMV infection. He has more than 13 years of experience in microscopic imaging techniques, in particular spinning disc confocal microscopy. Burks was recruited into the core laboratory in 2007, where he has developed his background in flow cytometry. He is in charge of cellular imaging on the North Campus and directs operations of the North Campus facility.
