Dr. Cano is both nationally and internationally recognized as an expert in HLA immunogenetics and has been integral to the development of ASHI standards for clinical testing. His clinical focus is the analysis of immunogenetics data in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and to this end has developed software for the interpretation and reporting of HLA results in the EHR. He is also interested in the use of automation in the high-complexity clinical laboratory and the management of information in the clinical laboratory. His research interests include 1) the use of population genetics in the interpretation of HLA genotyping results, 2) the characterization of HLA epitopes in terms of DNA and protein sequence properties, and 3) the selections of peptides for their presentation to T cells by the HLA molecule.
