It is with great pleasure that I announce the appointment of Dr. Sagar Patel as Director of Communications and Media Relationships. This appointment is effective as of October 1, 2020 and will be ongoing. Dr. Patel joined our faculty in the Division of Hematology and Hematologic Malignancies in 2019. He has a particular interest in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation as well as cellular therapies such as CAR-Ts for the treatment of malignant and benign hematologic diseases in adult patients. Dr. Patel’s research interests focus on the management of potential complications of such therapy including disease relapse and graft-versus-host disease. Please join me in congratulating Dr. Patel and I look forward to the many more great things to come from his leadership!
