Patient Care Bio
I am most interested in the treatment and comprehensive care for children with leukemia, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), as well as the care for children with other cancers and blood diseases. I also am intestered in inherited bone marrow failure syndromes and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
I am involved in pediatric stem cell transplantation for leukemias and high risk solid tumors as well as hemoglobinopathies such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia.
Our institution is a member of the Children's Oncology Group (COG) and the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Tissue Consortium (PBMTC). We have over 60 clinical trials open and strive to have all front-line treatment studies open for our patients.
