Clinical Interests
I specialize in the use of bone marrow transplantation and cellular therapies for children and young adults. I'm primarily interested in treating patients with non-malignant diseases, including immune dysregulation disorders, bone marrow failure syndromes, immunodeficiencies and autoimmune diseases. I'm also interested in other rare diagnoses affecting the immune system, including Castleman disease.
Care Philosophy
I'm committed to providing compassionate, high-quality, patient-centered care as part of a patient's medical team.
