Pronouns: he/him/his



I received my medical training at the University of Pierre and Marie Curie, in Paris, France. After Internal Medicine residency, I specialized in Immunology and plasma cell disorders including multiple myeloma and monoclonal gammopathies of clinical significance and became a clinical assistant professor in the department of Immuno-Hematology in Saint-Louis hospital, Paris. I next completed a PhD and post-doc in hematology studying genomics in Multiple Myeloma at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School in collaboration with La Sorbonne University, Paris and a clinical fellowship in Hematology and Oncology at the Boston University Medical Center. I am currently the multiple myeloma program director and the Stem Cell Transplant director at the Boston University Medical Center. My main interests are to develop myeloma clinical trials and to perform basic and translational research on multiple myeloma and other plasma cell disorders including AL amyloidosis and other monoclonal gammopathy of clinical significance.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

I am committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in academia and medicine. I have actively participated to all the Hematology and Medical Oncology section Diversity, Equity and Inclusions workshops. I participated to the LIFT Bystander Training for Microaggressions Workshops and to all other workshops proposed by our section. I am very attached to “medical” Justice and I am working on improving equal access to education, information and treatment of plasma cell disorders. To do so, I am leading the effort to develop a BU-CME interactive program addressing how to overcome barriers to effective treatment and enrollment in clinical trials of Afro-Americans and underserved patients.
