Biography
For all of my professional career I have worked at NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers and participated in the scholarly and administrative activities at those centers. My clinical and research interest is in hematopoietic cell transplantation and hematological malignancies, especially acute leukemias. I have a broad interest in the development, conduct, and analysis of clinical trials. I am also involved in the education of medical students, residents, and hematology/medical oncology fellows and serve as a mentor and career advisor to numerous undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate trainees, and junior faculty members.
