Get to Know Me
I am a board-certified medical oncologist and a member of the Lymphoma Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. My colleagues and I work to ensure a world-class collaborative environment, bringing medical expertise, access to cutting-edge clinical research, and specialized cancer care to our patients.
Over the last two decades, I have specialized in the care of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). During this time, I have served in many leadership positions at MSK, including Clinical Director of the Lymphoma Service, Chief of our Basking Ridge site, Acting Chief of the Lymphoma Service, and Medical Director of the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care.

My clinical research interests have focused on developing novel therapies and dedicated treatment programs for older patients with lymphoma, addressing the complex interplay between aging and a cancer diagnosis. As part of a multidisciplinary MSK team that cares for patients aged 65 and older, we have worked to develop new treatment strategies for older patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, and Hodgkin lymphoma, as well as patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic leukemia.
Ongoing research efforts are creating new screening tools to identify patients at an increased risk for treatment side effects and clinical trials specifically aimed at addressing the needs of the older patient population. We a shared goal of developing effective risk-adapted therapies to minimize the side effects of treatments while maximizing their effectiveness.
As a clinical researcher, I have been the principal investigator (PI) or co-PI of more than 30 clinical trials. My work continues to explore novel biologic and immunotherapeutic agents for the treatment of both NHL and Hodgkin lymphoma, with phase I and II trials focused on new antibody combinations, antibody drug conjugates, immunotoxins, and small molecule inhibitors.

Thank you very much!!!
Dr Hamlin is always caring , compassionate and professional. He is the best Doctor that I have ever had.
I'd like to let you know that the process of scheduling is very frustrating and confusing. There's no communication except through MyChart and MyChart uses jargony language for what is scheduled so it's sometimes impossible to know whether all the appointments you need are scheduled. And then everything seems to happen kind of in sequence, not in a way that it feels like I'm left in the dark a lot. The communication online is not good. When I call, I get help and I appreciate that. Thank you.
He's the best.
It would enhance the experience if I wasn't waiting for an hour past appointment time.
