My research focuses on clinical bone marrow transplantation. My primary research focus concentrates on clinical and translational studies for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In collaboration with the laboratory of James Ferrara, we developed and validated a GVHD plasma biomarker based scoring system that assigns patients to GVHD risk strata and can be used to determine treatment intensity.
