Dr. LaBelle is a pediatric hematologist-oncologist who cares for children with cancer and blood disorders, specializing in stem cell transplantation. He is a 2012 Cancer Research Foundation Young Investigator.

His NIH-funded research investigates why some pediatric cancers resist treatment by studying protein networks that control cancer cell survival and death, with the goal of developing new therapeutic strategies. He is also a highly regarded mentor, recognized for excellence in teaching trainees in pediatric hematology, oncology, and transplantation.
