Specializations

Hematologic malignancies

Clinical research activity centers on acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and relapsed or refractory lymphoma, with additional involvement in multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

  • Relapsed/refractory leukemia
  • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Multiple myeloma

Therapeutic interest extends across novel immunotherapies, targeted combinations, and transplant-related strategies in blood cancers.

Solid tumors and genitourinary oncology

The investigator is involved in studies of prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma, breast cancer, melanoma, and colorectal cancer, including advanced and metastatic disease settings.

  • Metastatic prostate cancer
  • Renal cell carcinoma
  • Melanoma

These activities include interest in immuno-oncology, targeted therapy, and treatment optimization for high-risk solid tumors.

Neurology and cerebrovascular disease

Research engagement includes acute ischemic stroke, high-risk transient ischemic attack, refractory status epilepticus, and other epileptic encephalopathies.

  • Stroke prevention
  • Seizure disorders
  • Neurological emergencies

Therapeutic focus also covers antithrombotic approaches and acute neurovascular intervention.

Cardiovascular and renal medicine

The clinical portfolio includes atrial fibrillation, heart failure, coronary artery disease, chronic kidney disease, and kidney transplant rejection.

  • Thromboembolic prevention
  • Heart failure
  • Renal transplantation

There is also involvement in bleeding-risk management and renal-cardiovascular comorbidity.
