I am a medical oncologist who specializes in bone marrow transplantation and cellular therapies for blood cancers, including leukemias, multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndrome, and lymphoma.

I have always been interested in biology, cancer, and the immune system. I chose a career in oncology because of the exciting developments ongoing in the field and the opportunity to form deep relationships with patients and their families. When caring for patients, I try to consider the patient’s and family’s needs holistically. I strive to pay attention to all the technical details without losing sight of the bigger picture — the patient’s goals, values, and quality of life.

Bone marrow transplantation in particular is a powerful way to potentially cure cancers of the blood, and I am interested in how the transplanted immune system from the donor accomplishes this. One of the major problems in bone marrow transplantation is graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a complication that can occur after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant. GVHD can happen when donor’s immune system attacks the patient’s organs. If we can find a way to reduce or eliminate this problem, many more patients could benefit from the cures that transplantation can offer. This is the motivation that drives the research I do alongside providing patient care.

I also run a laboratory that studies how the bacteria that live within our intestines — the microbiome —affect our immune system and the success of cancer immunotherapy.

I live in Westchester County with my wife and three sons and enjoy theater and tennis.
