Speakers & Moderators

Audrey joined the HealthTree Foundation as the Myeloma Community Program Director in 2020.

Audrey is passionate about serving others, loves learning, and enjoys a nice mug of hot chocolate no matter the weather.

Alexander Leshokin, MD, is a Hematologic Oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in New York, NY who specializes in myeloma and immunology. His research work involves developing innovative ways to use the immune system to treat cancer. He conducts clinical studies of medicines that enhance the immune response as well as laboratory studies aimed at understanding how cancers such as multiple myeloma are able to evade the immune response with a goal of developing new ways to treat myeloma patients. Dr. Leshokin completed his fellowship at MSKCC and his residency at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center. He earned his medical degree at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.
