About Me
I am a hematologist and oncologist who specializes in treating patients with aggressive and indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin’s and Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I studied biomedical engineering at Tulane University before receiving my medical training at The Ohio State University, and I have been a faculty member since 2009. I am currently a professor in the Division of Hematology and director of the Hematology and Medical Oncology Fellowship Program. Medical education is very important to me, and I am dedicated to teaching and mentoring trainees who will be future leaders in the fight against lymphoma and other cancers.
As a member of the Leukemia and Hematologic Malignancies Program at the OSUCCC – James, my research is focused on finding novel therapies for cancer patients by designing and leading clinical trials. I am inspired by the dual focus on both cutting-edge research and quality patient care that I find at OSUCCC – James. It’s what makes The James such a unique place.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
