Overview of Dr. Mehta

I am currently assistant professor and associate scientist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Comprehensive Cancer Center (UABCCC). I am board certified in Internal Medicine, Hematology and Oncology. My focus of interest is LYMPHOMA (Hodgkin lymphoma, Non Hodgkin lymphoma-T cell and B cell lymphomas). I specialize in treatments all types of lymphoma in my clinic. I am also involved in lymphoma related research which includes genomic and proteomic (gene and protein related) studies in various kinds of lymphomas. As a clinical investigator I am also part of many clinical trials as principal investigator or sub investigator. Many new promising targeted and immunologic treatment for lymphomas are being developed at UABCCC which patients of lymphoma can benefit. My passion is to develop targeted and immunologic therapies in lymphomas with less toxicities and more effectiveness.

UABCCC lymphoma program is comprehensive program involving all specialists (medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, survivorship and integrative medicine) and great nurses.

Apart from lymphomas, I also see patients with blood cancers (Leukemia, Myelodysplastic syndrome, low blood counts, CLL, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Rosai Dorfman's syndrome etc) and blood related disorders (benign hematology like PTGC, ITP, hemolytic anemia, iron deficiency anemia).
