Dr. Duong joined the School of Medicine and Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center as an Assistant Professor in 2012.  His clinical focus is in acute leukemias, myelodysplastic syndromes, myeloproliferative neoplasms, and bone marrow failure syndromes.  His primary research interests are in developing and conducting clinical trials in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes and acute leukemias.  He has been involved in several early-phase investigator-initiated clinical trials and has served as the local principal investigator for several industry-sponsored trials for patients with these diseases.  In addition to clinical and research activities, he regularly serves as an attending physician on the inpatient leukemia service training fellows, internal medicine residents, and medical students.
