I am a clinical-translational researcher focusing on new treatments for lymphomas with a particular focus on T-cell/cutaneous lymphomas. Since entering the field of hematology/oncology, I have been drawn to the study of lymphoma and the care of patients facing lymphoma given how varied these conditions are and the major unmet needs that exist. In my clinical practice, I see patients and caregivers navigating these diseases, treatments, and side effects, and this stimulates me to pursue advancements in my research endeavors. My overarching goals are to bridge laboratory investigations with work done in clinical trials towards ultimately improving and refining our therapeutic approaches for these challenging diseases.
