Research
Overview
I am a clinical researcher, and my research focus revolves around cellular therapies as well as access and disparities to clinical trials and standard-of-care cellular therapies. My research and scholarly activities are an integral part of my commitment to advancing the field of cellular therapies and improving patient outcomes. Over the years, I have been involved in a range of research activities, including retrospective institutional and multi-institutional research, collaborating with colleagues across the globe on Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Registry (CIBMTR) proposals, participating as an American Society of Transplant and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) survivorship steering committee member ( an international transplant and cellular therapy society), and participating in several ASTCT and CIBMTR working committees. I am also committed to outreach and clinical trial enrollment efforts, working to ensure that underserved populations have access to the latest treatments and therapies. As a principal investigator (PI) on cooperative group trials and subsite investigator-initiated trials (IITs), I have been able to contribute to the development of new treatment options and improve our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of disease.
