Present Title & Affiliation
Primary Appointment
Assistant Professor, Department of Lymphoma/Myeloma, Division of Cancer Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX
Instructor, Department of General Oncology, Division of Cancer Medicine, County Hospital Aarau, Aarau
Research Interests
My clinical research focuses on creating innovative frontline treatments for high grade B-cell lymphoma and Hodgkin Lymphoma. Through optimal combination of immunotherapies and/or chemotherapies, I investigate new regimens to reduce the risk of relapse and decrease toxicities.
Clinical Interests
My clinical interests include high grade lymphomas (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma) and Hodgkin lymphoma (classical Hodgkin Lymphoma and Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma)
