Summary
- I am currently the Director of the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and a Professor of Medicine, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Previously, I was at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York for nearly 20 years, where he held the Alfred P. Sloan Chair and served as Head of the Division of Hematologic Oncology, Vice Chairman for Faculty Development, and Chief of the Hematology Service.
I have cared for patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), multiple myeloma, and lymphoma for over three decades. I have conducted extensive clinical and basic science research into the treatment and genetic basis of adult leukemia and bone marrow failure states, defining how the bone marrow controls its production of blood cells, and exploring ways to treat blood-based cancers.
