The Flow and Image Cytometry Department at Roswell Park combined both clinical and research missions at the Institute. The clinical laboratory under his leadership implemented measurable (formerly known as minimal) residual disease (MRD) testing for AML, B-ALL, multiple myeloma and CLL. The laboratory served as a core reference facility performing immunophenotyping and immune monitoring studies on samples from patients enrolled in clinical trials for biotech and NIH funded studies. His lifetime research focus is on myeloid cell biology, and he is currently working on several projects designed to develop and analyze MRD in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
