Dr. Edwards is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine (BUSM) at Boston University and Boston Medical Center (BMC). She maintains a clinical practice in hematology at Boston Medical Center (BMC) with a specific research interest in plasma cell disorders (PCDs). She is committed to improving the care of vulnerable patient populations using her translational research platform to address unanswered questions encountered in clinical care. After internal medicine residency at Harlem Hospital Center, she completed the hematology and oncology fellowship at BUSM/BMC, obtaining rigorous research training through the comprehensive cancer center, the world-renowned BU Amyloidosis Center, and the Center for Regenerative Medicine.
As a physician-scientist and hematologist, her research and clinical platforms are multifaceted. Her translational research focuses on integrating clinical data from large databases with the knowledge gained from PCD modeling using patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells to understand disease biology in a socioenvironmental context, study the earliest signs of disease, test treatments, and develop the most promising therapeutic agents. Her work has led to several prestigious awards from the American Society of Hematology, the International Society of Amyloidosis, and the International Myeloma Foundation. In her clinical capacity, she provides care for patients with hematologic diseases and advocates for underserved populations through community-based patient and peer education programs.
Dr. Edwards also has a strong passion for teaching and mentorship. She is an active Hematology and Oncology Fellowship Program Evaluation Committee member and a career mentor for several clinical trainees.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility
I am part of a dedicated team of healthcare professionals, researchers, students and staff from different countries and various regions of the U.S. The culture of our Section is defined by the unique perspectives that we each bring with us. As both a large academic medical center and safety-net hospital serving the communities of Boston and its surroundings, our trainees engage in cutting edge research and gain real-world clinical experience by caring for local underserved populations. Our multilingual team is committed to promoting cultural competency, equity and inclusion in science, medicine and healthcare. We strive to maintain a workforce that is as diverse as the communities we serve, and aim to create a safe space for our members to learn, grow and succeed in their life goals. Acknowledging that we all have a role to play, I am dedicated to welcoming and celebrating individuals of all races, ethnicities, social backgrounds, religion, gender, sex, age, ability, sexual orientation, veteran status, and national origin.
