Biosketch

I find immunology and biology of the plasma cells fascinating and accordingly, my passion in the field of  hematology- oncology lies in plasma cell dyscrasias such as multiple myeloma, primary (AL) amyloidosis, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, POEMS syndrome and other types of disorders that are all related to plasma cell dyscrasias.

Research/Clinical Keywords

Diagnosis and treatment of plasma cell dyscrasias which include diseases such as multiple myeloma, AL amyloidosis, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, POEMS syndrome
