Clinical trials, lymphoma, translational research, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Research Summary
My clinical focus as a medical oncologist is on B-cell lymphoid malignancies and my major research interest is using disease biology to guide therapeutic development. In particular, my focus is on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. I am a member of SWOG Lymphoma Committee and serve as a Principal Investigator on two national clinical trials in this type of lymphoma.
