Research Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia is associated with a poor prognosis, and standard therapeutic approaches have not significantly changed in the last few decades. There is a dire need for novel therapies to improve clinical outcomes. My research interest focuses on the development and clinical translation of promising therapeutics for patients with acute leukemias. I lead multiple clinical trials at the Dana Farber Harvard Cancer Center for such patients, and have a specific interest in IDH-inhibition, aurora kinase inhibition, FLT3 inhibition, and antibody-drug conjugates as novel therapeutic approaches for patients with acute leukemias.
