Meet the Team

Dr. Cailin Collins

Dr. Collins is an Assistant professor in the Hematology Division at the University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus. She was previously a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Ravi Majeti’s lab at Stanford University and a clinical fellow in the Hematology and Oncology Department. Following her undergraduate studies at Williams College, Dr. Collins received her MD/PhD degree at the University of Michigan, where she worked with Dr. Jay Hess studying the role of collaborator proteins in HOXA9-mediated leukemic transformation. Her current research focuses on understanding mechanisms of preleukemic transformation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) by prospectively modeling mutation acquisition in human hematopoietic stem cells. Throughout her training, Dr. Collins has remained passionate about her career as a physician-scientist, which presents the opportunity to care for patients with hematologic malignancies in the clinic, while also studying these diseases in the lab. Her ultimate goal is to identify a safe and well-tolerated therapy to selectively eradicate preleukemic stem cells and block the formation of AML.

Sana Singru

Sana is working as a Research Services Professional in the Collins Lab. She grew up in India, the UK, and the Philippines and graduated from UC Berkeley, where she earned her degree in Bioengineering. During undergrad, she worked in the Ho Lab at UCSF where her research was focused on the role macrophages play in kidney stone formation. After graduating, she transitioned into Life Sciences consulting, where she had the chance to work on a number of oncology projects. This sparked her interest in diving deeper into the field through research.
