Get to Know Me

I am a board-certified pathologist who specializes in hematopathology and molecular pathology. My work involves reviewing and analyzing biopsy samples collected from patients to help diagnose and monitor diseases such as plasma cell disorders, leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloid disorders.

We use a variety of tests and techniques, including morphology, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, molecular testing, and cytogenetic testing, to analyze samples and generate diagnostic reports, which help our colleagues in hematology and medical oncology provide the best patient care.

My research has focused on the development and implementation of new biomarkers of disease and new assays, for use in translational research and clinical testing. 

What I Do at MSK

I'm a pathologist, which is a doctor who uses a microscope to make a diagnosis from cell and tissue samples. I analyze these samples to learn the cause and effects of a health issue.

Disclosures

Members of the MSK Community often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community. These activities outside of MSK further our mission, provide productive collaborations, and promote the practical application of scientific discoveries.

MSK requires doctors, faculty members, and leaders to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public. Not all disclosed interests and relationships present conflicts of interest. MSK reviews all disclosed interests and relationships to assess whether a conflict of interest exists and whether formal COI management is needed.
