I’m a hematologist-oncologist caring for patients with multiple myeloma, amyloidosis and those undergoing blood and marrow transplantation. I am privileged to lead clinical trials and research projects in my laboratory to develop new treatments for and understanding of these conditions. I am grateful to teach in The Ohio State University College of Medicine, where I have received both the Professor of the Year Award (2012) and the Distinguished Educator Award (2015). I currently serve as a professor of medicine and as the director of the Myeloma Program at The Ohio State University. For many years, I have been recognized as being in the top 10 percent of physicians in the nation for patient satisfaction.
