Summary
- I am the Deputy Director for Clinical Services and Chief Physician Officer at the Rutgers Cancer Institute and the Jack and Sheryl Morris Cancer Center, Associate Vice Chancellor for Clinical Innovation and Data Analytics at Rutgers Health, and Oncology Lead for the RWJBH Medical Group and System Director of Medical Oncology for RWJBarnabas Health. I oversee the clinical enterprise to deliver innovative, high-quality, and integrated cancer care across 15 acute care hospitals and associated ambulatory practices throughout New Jersey. I work closely with Rutgers Health and RWJBarnabas Health system executive leadership to advance innovative, efficient, and dynamic healthcare systems.
Clinically, I am an expert in lymphoid malignancies, with research interests in studying novel targeted therapeutic agents, biomarker discovery, predictive modeling, big data, and personalized medicine. My research has been funded continuously by the NIH and the NCI since 2005, which has resulted in 400+ research abstract presentations and 250+ manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals. Additionally, I am the co-founder and co-PI of the NCI-funded international Hodgkin lymphoma consortium known as HoLISTIC (Hodgkin Lymphoma International STudy for Individual Care: www.hodgkinconsortium.com).
I am a re-elected member and the Chair-Elect for the North American Lymphoma Research Foundation Scientific Advisory Board, comprised of 45 world-renowned lymphoma experts. I am a Hodgkin Lymphoma NCI steering committee member and have been an ad hoc member of varied sub-committees for the NIH, NCI, CTEP, and the FDA. I am also the editor-in-chief of the global hematology journal, BJHaem, the vice-chair of the lymphoma committee for ECOG-ACRIN, co-chair of the Big 10 Cancer Research Consortium lymphoma committee, and a recently elected member of the Board of Directors for the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Research Council.
