Immuno-oncology is increasingly becoming an important therapy for a variety of cancers. As Head of the Division of Hematologic Malignancies and an Attending Physician of the Adult Bone Marrow Transplantation Service, I see patients undergoing a bone marrow transplantation. In my lab, I study novel strategies to improve immune therapies for cancer patients with a special emphasis on the role of the intestinal microbiome in (patho)physiology and therapy, Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cell therapy, and regeneration of thymic function to improve T cell immunity.

Disclosures
Doctors and faculty members often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community.
