Care Philosophy

My academic interests lie in advancing clinical research aimed at improving outcomes for patients with lymphoma. I serve as a principal investigator on multiple institutional and cooperative group trials, including studies exploring bispecific antibodies, and combination immunotherapy strategies. I also collaborate across disciplines to enhance supportive care, survivorship outcomes, and care delivery models, including the integration of telemedicine in cancer care.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to education, mentorship, and health system leadership. I actively contribute to fellowship and residency training programs, and I participate in national guideline development and protocol review committees. My goal is to advance translational lymphoma research while continually improving the quality of care delivered to patients and communities.
