Positions

Overview

  • Introduction:

    I joined UAB after completing my fellowship in hematology-oncology at the Mayo Clinic, MN. I am a physician scientist with focus on lymphoma and histiocytic disorders.

    Clinical interests:

    1) Hodgkin lymphoma,
    2) B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, MALT lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma etc.),
    3) T-cell lymphoma (peripheral T-cell lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, etc.),
    4) Histiocytosis (Erdheim-Chester disease, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Rosai-Dorfman disease, histiocytic sarcoma, langerhans cell sarcoma, xanthogranuloma),
    5) HIV-related lymphomas.

    Research:

    I work closely with multiple specialists for the care of patients with these rare diseases, and conduct clinical, translational, and outcomes research to improve patient outcomes.
