In addition to seeing patients, I have been involved in researching new methods of preventing and treating the infectious complications of cancer and the immunocompromised host.
As Chief and Medical Director of the Employee Health and Wellness Service, I am also responsible for maintaining the health and safety of our more than 15,000 employees and non-employees by making sure that they are compliant with all regulatory requirements. By doing this, employees will be assuring their own safety as well as that of our patients and visitors.
I am also a professor of clinical medicine at the Weill Cornell Medical College and am an active Fellow of the American College of Physicians and of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (and have served on various committees of both).
In addition, I am past president of the Infectious Disease Society of New York and have served on the Infections in Patients with Cancer Panel of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, and as a consultant to the Advisory Committee of the US Food and Drug Administration.
