Academic Appointment
- Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Emory University School of Medicine
Education
Degrees
- MBBS from University of Jordan
- MSCR from Emory University
Research
Focus
- Pediatric solid tumor oncology and Hematopoeitic stem cell transplantation: - Incorporation of novel agents into the treatment of relapsed solid tumors, and improving current treatments for patients with high risk disease including autologous stem cell transplantation. Currently the PI of an institutional phase I dose escalation trial using Sirolimus in combination of metronomic chemotherapy for relapsed and refractory solid tumors.
- Developing more effective prophylaxis/ treatment against graft versus host disease (GVHD) in patients undergoing allogeneic blood and marrow transplant, and incorporating biomarkers for early diagnosis. Currently leading the effort to establish an institutional biorepository of BMT patient samples linked to clinical data.
