Clinical Research
Area of Interest
I am both a hematologist and medical oncologist, as well as a clinical researcher. My primary areas of clinical and research interest are plasma cell disorders such as multiple myeloma and light chain (AL) amyloidosis. I have interests in improving our ability to predict outcomes and responses to therapy, as well as in conducting clinical trials both of therapeutics and novel supportive care approaches for patients with plasma cell disorders. I also work on ways to leverage the electronic health record to answer important clinical questions in the area of plasma cell disorders.
