Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
My research is focused on attaining a better understanding of the initiation, maintenance, and progression of lymphoid tumors, and their response to immunochemotherapy toward improving current treatment strategies.
In this effort, I employ tools from functional genomics, computational biology, molecular genetics, and mouse models. I hope to apply this knowledge towards the design of clinical trials in the treatment of patients with lymphoma, leukemia, and myeloma.
Clinical Trials
- Recruiting Genes in Predicting Outcome of Patients With Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Treated With Rituximab and Combination Chemotherapy
- Recruiting An Extension Study for Patients Who Are Deriving Benefit With CAL-101 to Continue on Treatment at the End of the Current Study
- Not Recruiting Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin, and Fluorouracil With or Without Bevacizumab in Treating Patients Who Have Undergone Surgery for Stage II Colon Cancer
- Recruiting Phase I/II of a CpG-Activated Whole Cell Vaccine Followed by Autologous Immunotransplant for MCL
- Recruiting A Study Of PF-05082566 As A Single Agent And In Combination With Rituximab
