Matthew Kulke MD is the Chief of Hematology/Oncology, Co-Director of the BU/BMC Cancer Center and Zoltan Kohn Professor at the Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine. Dr. Kulke is an internationally recognized for his work in the field of neuroendocrine tumors. He has led or co-led both early and late stage clinical trials leading to the development of telotristat ethyl, temozolomide, sunitinib, everolimus and peptide receptor radiotherapy for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors. His work has additionally included characterization of neuroendocrine tumors at the molecular level, and has resulted in over 200 peer-reviewed publications.

Dr. Kulke received his undergraduate degree in molecular biology from Princeton University magna cum laude, and his medical degree with a thesis honors award from the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine where he also was a Regent’s scholar and received a research training fellowship from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He performed his internship and residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a medical oncology fellowship at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and received a Masters in Medical Science Degree from Harvard Medical School.

Prior to coming to Boston University he was a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Neuroendocrine Tumor Program at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. He has served as principal investigator for NCI cooperative group trials in both neuroendocrine tumors and pancreatic cancer, served as chair of the National Cancer Institute’s Neuroendocrine Tumor Clinical Trial Task Force, chair of the North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Society, and chair of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network’s neuroendocrine tumor guidelines committee.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

Our commitment as a section to DEIA is reflected broadly- in the way in which we care for our diverse patient population, the way in which we perform research, and the way in which we interact with each other as faculty and staff. Our institutional commitment, "exceptional care without exception" reflects these values, and we are equally committed to ensuring that our research efforts appropriately reflect and impact the diverse and multicultural society in which we live. To build on these efforts, we are supporting a designated leadership position to lead DEI efforts within the section, have monthly meetings of an anti-racism committee, sponsor workshops and speakers, and commit part of every section meeting to reviewing topics related to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility. Recognizing that advancing DEIA is a journey, our goal is to be leaders on this path. We are firm in the knowledge that our continued and future success is predicated on an open and inclusive environment, and on the unparalleled strength provided by the diverse backgrounds, talents and perspectives of our patients, staff, and faculty.
