About Me

As a physician-scientist specializing in lymphoma, I built a strong foundation in both research and clinical practice. I received a BA in Integrative Biology with Highest Distinction in General Scholarship from the University of California, Berkeley, followed by an MD from the University of California, Davis, School of Medicine. My post-doctoral training included residency at the University of Washington and a fellowship in Hematology and Oncology at the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. I am a recipient of the Lymphoma Research Foundation Fellowship Award and the American Cancer Society Mentored Research Scholar Grant (ACS-MRSG) Award in Tumor Biology and Genomics. I was also elected as HemOnc Today’s NextGen Innovator. My current research is supported by the Leukemia Lymphoma Society Translational Research Program (LLS-TRP), the Follicular Lymphoma Foundation, and the Institute for Follicular Lymphoma Innovation.

Currently, I serve as Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Hematologic Oncology and Blood Disorders and Co-Leader for the Translational Oncology (TO) Program at Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center. I have successfully served as principal investigator for numerous clinical trials and translational research projects, and I remain steadfast in my commitment as a medical oncologist to deliver the highest standard of care to my patients.
