I am a Hematologist/Oncologist whose major interest is in understanding and improving the care of patients with hemoglobinopathies. In particular, my focus has been in conducting multi-center trials to answer therapeutic questions in hematologic and iron overload disorders. I have been a federally funded research investigator for over 30 years and been national principal investigator for many successful trials. In the last decade, I have focused on transfusion therapy and understanding iron metabolism and its consequences in multiple diseases. I have been the principal investigator on several studies related to transfusion therapy, chelation therapy in hemoglobinopathies. For over 25 years, I have focused on alloimmunization, transfusion-induced hemosiderosis, transfusion efficacy, and risks in hematology. In order to do this, I have developed a hemoglobinopathy center, which provides primary through tertiary care to pediatric and adult patients.
