For Patients:
My clinical interests are in leveraging patients' existing or transplanted immune system to treat pediatric and young adult cancers. This dovetails with my research interests, which are primarily focused on: (1) profiling and understanding the immune microenvironment of pediatric malignancies; and (2) improving our understanding of how we harness, optimize and drive an augmented immune system after transplant to treat cancer.

For Referring Providers:
My aim as a clinical-translational investigator is to leverage expertise in immunology, cell and tissue engineering, data science, machine-learning, clinical informatics, and pediatric oncology toward the design and implementation of early and late phase clinical trials centered on cellular and immuno-oncology therapeutics for pediatric and young adult oncology patients so that they may better survive and thrive. My clinical and translational research focuses on developing, implementing and refining cell transplant (SCT) and immune effector cell (IEC) therapies in collaboration with basic scientists and translating novel therapeutic strategies that promote optimal immune reconstitution and function for improving relapse-free survival and long term cure for children with malignancies, marrow failure and disorders of immunity (including discovering biomarkers, applying correlative studies, and evaluating outcomes).

T32 Training Award, Research Training in Childhood Cancer 2018
The T32 CA128583 training award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) supports a structured pre-doctoral and/or post-doctoral training program in Translational Cancer Biology (TCB), with the primary goal of preparing trainees to become independent investigators capable of conducting high-impact cancer research. The program emphasizes rigorous coursework, mentored research in relevant biological models, interdisciplinary collaboration, and exposure to the full translational spectrum from molecular mechanisms to clinical applications.

Pediatric Research Scholar 2021
The Duke Pediatric Research Scholars Program (DPRS) at Duke University School of Medicine is a physician-scientist training pathway designed to help pediatric residents and fellows transition into academic investigator roles, by combining intensive clinical training at Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center with robust research experiences in Duke’s laboratories. Participants receive concierge mentoring, professional development seminars, scholarly engagement opportunities, and research support including funding and travel for presentations.

Robert J Leftkowitz Society for Physician Scientists, Member 2022
The Robert J. Lefkowitz Society at Duke University School of Medicine provides a supportive community for MD and MD/PhD residents and fellows who are pursuing careers as physician-investigators focused on basic and translational research. Membership is by selection (5-10 new members annually), includes mentorship with senior physician-scientists, networking events (including dinners), and opportunities for scientific and career development throughout one’s training.

Page Scholar 2025
The CIBMTR Page Scholars Program is a two-year initiative designed to immerse early-career investigators (typically 3-7 years post-fellowship) in the workings of CIBMTR’s Working Committees, giving them mentorship, leadership exposure, data-access experience and roles in protocol oversight. The program was launched in 2023 (initially called the Working Committee Training & Leadership Program), and was renamed in honor of the late Kristin Page Chartrand to reflect her dedication to career development and research leadership.
