As a physician scientist in the hematological malignancies and stem cell transplantation division with Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at the Johns Hopkins, my focus is on the various aspects of cellular therapy in the treatment of hematological malignancies. My primary research focus is to develop strategies to prevent relapse of hematological malignancies following allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Additionally, I serve as the director of the adult CAR T program for hematological malignancies as we grow our CAR T program to help patients with advanced hematological malignancies.
