Dr. Hawley’s research is concerned with basic aspects and experimental therapeutics involving normal and malignant cells of the hematopoietic system. He has published over 160 original and review articles on stem cell and regenerative biology, molecular hematology/oncology, gene therapy modeling and retroviral vectorology; and, together with Teresa Hawley, edited the second and third editions of Flow Cytometry Protocols published by Humana Press/Springer. Dr. Hawley is best known for developing the MSCV retroviral gene transfer vector, which has been used by more than 1,000 academic and biopharmaceutical research laboratories in over 5,000 scientific publications, and in several Phase I human gene transfer protocols including the first immunogene therapy clinical trial in the United States to achieve objective cancer regression (Dr. Steven Rosenberg, NCI). Dr. Hawley has been a member of numerous journal editorial boards (including, among others, Blood, Stem Cells, Current Gene Therapy), serving as the Editor-in-Chief of Current Gene Therapy and as a Senior Editor of Stem Cells. He is currently an Associate Editor of Current Gene Therapy, and a member of the editorial boards of Advances in Hematology, The Open Gene Therapy Journal, Journal of Stem Cell Research & Therapy, and World Journal of Stem Cells. Dr. Hawley has received a number of awards and honors throughout his career including the 2004 Carleton and Sigrid Stewart Plenary Speaker Award from the Great Lakes International Imaging and Flow Cytometry Association, and GW’s 2006 Elaine H. Snyder Cancer Research Award.
