As a medical oncologist and hematologist, I treat patients with bone marrow disorders, leukemias, lymphomas, and certain types of solid tumors using allogeneic (donor provided) bone marrow and stem cell transplants. My research focuses on the biology of the natural killer cell, a white blood cell with anti-tumor behavior, and its role in affecting the outcome of transplants. A goal of my research is to determine how natural killer cells can be used to improve the treatment of cancers.
