Biography:
I joined the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center faculty in 2018 as an Assistant Professor of Oncology in the Department of Medicine on the Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program. My current research focuses on hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) and outcomes, including graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), infections, second cancers, relapse, and treatment-related mortality (TRM) as well as cellular therapy and outcomes including infections and neurotoxicity.
