Research Interest
He stayed on there as faculty doing research on carbohydrate-binding proteins in hematopoietic cells while developing clinical trials in GU cancers and working in the Division of Hematology-Oncology at the San Diego VAMC. He moved to the San Fernando Valley to work in a clinical practice affiliated with the clinical trials organization at UCLA before moving on to Olive View-UCLA Medical Center. As the only public safety-net hospital serving a patient catchment area the size of Pittsburgh, he has found it both clinically fulfilling and an excellent teaching venue. During his tenure at OVMC, he has worked in the Division of Hematology-Oncology, served five years as the Associate Medical Director, and currently serves as Vice Chair
