Get to Know Me

I am a pediatric hematologist-oncologist on the MSK Kids team with extensive experience in the use of cord blood transplants to treat babies, children, adolescents, and young adults with leukemia, lymphoma, and other cancers as well as non-malignant blood diseases.

Umbilical cord blood from healthy newborns is an excellent source of stem cells to rebuild a patient’s immune and blood system. At MSK Kids, we try to present patients and their families with different treatment options, tailored to their individual conditions. Cord blood has a number of advantages over blood or bone marrow from an unrelated donor. It is not necessary to find a perfect HLA (tissue type) match, making it particularly attractive for patients of ethnic minorities. Cord blood is more rapidly available, and there is a lower risk of a serious transplant complication called graft-versus-host disease, which occurs when the transplanted cells attack the normal tissues of the recipient’s body.

My colleagues and I have a great deal of experience in research that has led to cord blood transplantation being brought from the laboratory to the clinic. We are also studying new ways to use cord blood to treat diseases of the blood and bone marrow.

I have spoken nationally in support of cord blood transplantation to try to get more hospitals interested in participating in cord blood donation programs. I also teach fellows and give presentations at conferences about cord blood collection and banking and its use in transplantation and cellular therapies.

As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public. Not all disclosed interests and relationships present conflicts of interest. MSK reviews all disclosed interests and relationships to assess whether a conflict of interest exists and whether formal COI management is needed.
