Hall, Richard Delmar
Clinical trial design and development for novel therapeutics and immunotherapy for the treatment of lung cancer.
Keng, Michael K
Clinical trials in hematologic malignancies, including myelodysplastic syndromes and leukemias with special interest in treating the elderly population, determining optimal combinations and timing of targeted agents in MDS and leukemia, and studying patie
Loughran, Jr., Thomas P
Hematologic malignancies; bone marrow disorders; leukemia; large granular lymphocyte (LGL)
Portell, Craig Anthony
Clinical trials in hematologic malignancies including leukemias and lymphomas, with special interest in determining optimal combinations and timing of targeted agents in B-cell leukemias and lymphomas.
Thakur, Archana
Dr. Thakur's research activities are focused on 1) developing new and innovative therapeutic approaches to enhance clinical and anti-tumor immune responses; 2) developing novel strategies to attenuate the immune suppressive cellular and humoral factors.
Williams, Michael E.
Dr. Williams’ research interests include clinical trials and translational science for mantle cell lymphoma, other non-Hodgkin lymphomas and CLL, with a focus on targeted agents and immuno-therapeutics. He was a co-investigator on three pivotal clinical trials that led to FDA approvals in B-cell lymphoma. The current focus of the Lymphoma and Leukemia Research Team is to improve treatment response and cure via novel combinations of targeted therapeutic agents and to optimize anti-lymphoma immunotherapy.
