About

I am a hematologist-oncologist who specializes in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes and bone marrow transplantation. Every day, I collaborate with my colleagues at the OSUCCC – James to create targeted therapies for each patient. Cancer is complex, but I’m confident our research continues to bring us closer to finding a cure. It’s an honor to work at one of the nation’s premier cancer hospitals. Our collective expertise results in faster responses, fewer side effects and more hope for cancer patients everywhere.
