Overview

As a committed life-long learner, I am awed by the continued advancements in the field of pediatric transplant and cellular therapy (PTCT).   Following completion of my PTCT fellowship training at Duke, I have developed a career dedicated to expanding indications for PTCT and improving associated outcomes.  I have a special interest in the mitigation of endotheliopathies and continue to lead global harmonization efforts related to management of toxicities of therapy.  As the Division Chief of PTCT at Duke, I am committed to the ensuring our patients receive state of the art care with access to innovative research protocols that change the field.   We are committed to training the next generation of physicians in our field with a commitment to global partnerships to improve care for patients across the world.
