Areas of Interest:

Major Research Theme:
My specific clinical interests include non-malignant hematology and hematologic malignancies, including leukemias, lymphomas, myeloproliferative disorders, and myelodysplastic syndromes. In conjunction with members of our Cutaneous Oncology Program, I have developed particular expertise in cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders, as well as non-melanoma skin cancers. Recent clinical trials include: Biology of T-Cell Lymphomas Affecting the Skin; Rituximab for Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia; and Blood Samples from Patients with Polycythemia Vera and Idiopathic Myelofibrosis for Research Analysis.
