  • Research

     

    My recent research involves improving the diagnosis and treatment of children with cancer in low-income countries. We have projects to treat children with cancer and to improve the diagnosis of leukemia through education and training of local health care workers in Kenya. We continue to seek funds to extend that work.

     

    Locally, I am involved in the education of fellows in Pediatric Hematology-Oncology, and I work to foster their research and academic careers through their training. I am also involved in clinical drug trials of new agents for treatment of diseases in children with cancer or blood disorders.
