Biography

Curing hematologic cancers with precision medicine and minimal toxicity has been a multigeneration challenge and a highly prioritized work for our group at Yale. Through continual engagement with patients and their families, educational meetings and well informed decision making sessions, we help our patients navigate the field of transplantation and cellular therapy. Our multidisciplinary team while trying to harness the curative promise of cellular immunotherapy also has special focus to enhance its safety and provide long term supervision for cancer survivors. We strongly encourage our patients to learn the strengths and limitations of the existing standard of care, the knowledge of which could be applied to personalize treatment plans and foster research environment to advance the broader field.

Clinical Care

Overview

Lohith Gowda, MD, is a hematologist, which means he studies and treats blood-based diseases and cancers including leukemia and bone marrow failure.

Dr. Gowda’s team includes not just other doctors and scientists but patients and their families. The team meets often to help patients and families navigate the complexities of stem-cell transplant and cellular therapy, all of which are involved in the treatment of blood-based diseases. It is important for patients and families to fully understand options for care in order to make informed decisions, he says.

An active researcher, Dr. Gowda’s work examines the effectiveness of specific strategies for treating blood disorders, as well as their effects on patients’ well-being and long-term care. While transplantation may give patients a new lease on life, dedicated follow-up care for transplant recipients is vital, Dr. Gowda says.

Dr. Gowda is a member of the Royal College of Physicians and has received many awards, including the Young Investigator Award from the Academy of Clinical Laboratory Physicians and Scientists and the American Society of Hematology’s Abstract Achievement Award.
