Clinical profile

Area of Interest

I am interested in the development and application of cellular therapies for multiple myeloma and beyond. My background of research is in the development of a novel CD64 CAR-T cell therapy for venetoclax-resistant AML.

With this experience applied to my clinical interest in multiple myeloma and healthcare advocacy, I aim to improve outcomes and access to novel cellular therapies for patients with multiple myeloma and other malignancies through clinical and translational research.
