Research Focus

My research focuses on the treatment of bone marrow cancers. in particular the leukemias and myelodysplastic syndrome. I am the local lead investigator on several national and international studies in hematologic malignancy. Additionally, in conjunction with other Canadian centres we are building a registry of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome that will offer insights into how these patients are managed in Canada, the outcomes of their treatments and their qualty of life.
