Kick off the day with a special Medicine Grand Rounds featuring keynote speaker Ivan Maillard, MD, PhD. As the Laurence Joseph Dinner Chair in Leukemia Research and head of the Division of Hematologic Malignancies at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, Dr. Maillard is a hematologist and immunologist with longstanding experience treating lymphoma and leukemia, focusing on reducing the side effects of bone marrow transplantation.
Dr. Maillard is dedicated to training and mentoring a new generation of scientists and physician-scientists working on blood and cancer research, as well as hematopoietic cell transplantation. His research focuses on the role of Notch signaling in hematopoiesis as well as in T and B cell development, differentiation and function.
His insights are sure to set the stage for a day packed with scientific discussions.
