About Me
I’m an oncologist focused on the treatment of patients diagnosed with hairy cell leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). I’m a member of the Leukemia and Hematologic Malignancies Program at the OSUCCC – James and serve as an assistant professor in The Ohio State University Division of Hematology.
As a member of the Leukemia and Hematologic Malignancies Program at the OSUCCC – James, my research interest is in genomics and gene transcription in leukemia and its relevance in experimental therapeutics. My work explores whether and how mutations and transcriptional attributes can be studied in the context of clinical trials to provide prognostic and predictive information relevant to novel anticancer therapies.
I was recently named as one of six recipients of a Young Investigator Award from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Foundation. I received a six-figure grant for a project titled “Genomic Stratification and Prognostication of Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia by Combination Mutation Status.”
I love the collaborative spirit at OSUCCC – James and how we all share the common purpose of providing optimal and effective care and treatment for patients –– and the goal of one day living in a world free of cancer.

Dr. Blachly is an outstanding physician with excellent patient interaction skills.
We waited over an hour to see Dr. Blachly and he spent about 10+ minutes with us.
Although I had to wait longer than expected to see Dr. Blachly and the genetic counselor's expertise were worth the wait. They spent an extended period of time with me and Dr. Blachly even drew diagrams for me to better understand my condition. He talked about the role of family and culture in terms of the rarity of my genetic anomoly. They were very thorough.
Very good
Dr. Blachly makes my husband and I feel like we are the most important people he sees. Dr. Bixel and Walls are empathic and always give me direction and all my OSU doctors communicate with my doctors at MVH.

I would say OUTSTANDING rather than Very Good
