Summary

  • I am the Deputy Director for Clinical Services at the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, Associate Vice Chancellor for Clinical Innovation and Data Analytics at Rutgers Health, and the Medical Director of the Oncology Service Line and Oncology Lead for the Combined Medical Group for RWJBarnabas Health. I oversee the clinical enterprise to deliver innovative, high-quality, and integrated cancer care across 15 acute care hospitals and associated oncology practices throughout New Jersey. I also work closely with Rutgers Health and RWJBarnabas Health system executive leadership to advance innovative, efficient, and dynamic clinical decision support systems.

    Clinically, I am an expert in lymphoid malignancies, with research interests in studying novel targeted therapeutic agents, biomarker discovery, predictive modeling, big data, and the incorporation of personalized medicine. My research has been funded continuously by the NIH and the NCI since 2005, which has resulted in 400+ research abstract presentations and 250+ manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals. Additionally, I am the co-founder and co-PI of the NCI-funded international Hodgkin lymphoma consortium known as HoLISTIC (Hodgkin Lymphoma International STudy for Individual Care: www.hodgkinconsortium.com).

    I am a re-elected member and the Chair-Elect for the North American Lymphoma Research Foundation Scientific Advisory Board, comprised of 45 world-renowned lymphoma experts. I am a member of the Hodgkin lymphoma NCI steering committee and have been an ad hoc member for the NIH, NCI, CTEP and the FDA. I was an associate editor for the British Journal of Haematology for 8 years and was named the inaugural editor-in-chief of the journal eJHaem in 2020. I am also the vice-chair of the lymphoma committee for ECOG-ACRIN, co-chair of the Big 10 Cancer Research Consortium lymphoma committee, and I am a recently elected member of the Board of Directors for the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Research Council.
