I am board-certified in General Pediatrics and Pediatric Hematology-Oncology. As a clinician, I have special interest in Leukemias and Lymphomas as well as Classical Hematology. My primary research focus is health disparities among Hispanic children with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL). I have had the opportunity to work in collaboration with the University of Puerto Rico-Medical Sciences Campus in a pilot and innovative research study related to health disparities in Hispanic children with leukemias. Currently, we have two institutions enrolling patients, but our goal is to continue working in partnership with different institutions across the US and Central/South America in the future. As an educator, I have been actively involved in teaching medical students, Pediatric residents and Pediatric Dental residents. In addition, I serve as a research mentor for a Pediatric resident in Puerto Rico since 2021. During 2022, I contributed as an active member in the ACGME Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Milestones 2.0 committee for the development of a new set of milestones. My long-term career goal is to focused on health disparities and genetic predisposition among pediatric patients with B-ALL.
