Personal Interests
I obtained my medical degree in Mumbai, India, before completing residency in Internal
Medicine and fellowship training in Hematology and Oncology at East Carolina University in
Greenville, North Carolina. I then pursued advanced fellowship training in lymphoid
malignancies and bone marrow transplantation at Stanford University.
I chose to subspecialize in lymphomas because of their clinical heterogeneity, scientifically
stimulating biology, and the opportunity to tailor therapeutics while driving innovation in drug
development. I am currently an Associate Professor of Medicine and Clinical Director of the
Lymphoma Program at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. In this role, I have built a
nationally recognized program and lead clinical and translational research efforts focused on
chemotherapy-free, immune-based approaches for B-cell lymphomas, particularly diffuse large
B-cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, and indolent lymphomas. My research portfolio
includes leading pivotal trials that have resulted in FDA approvals, as well as first-in-human
studies of novel CAR-T and bispecific antibodies.
Beyond my clinical and research work, I contribute to the field through national leadership and
service. I serve on the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) B-cell and CLL
Guidelines Panel and the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) Lymphoma Committee, where I
am an active member of the lymphoma working groups. I also hold editorial roles and serve on
multiple scientific advisory boards.
My overarching goal is to advance personalized medicine in lymphoid malignancies—delivering
therapies that are transformative, durable, and accessible to patients everywhere.
