RESEARCH AND/OR CLINICAL INTERESTS 

Dr. Alexandre V. Hirayama is a hematologist-oncologist specializing in the care of patients with blood cancers undergoing blood and marrow transplantation and cellular immunotherapies. Much of his focus is on chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (or CAR T-cell therapy), a cutting-edge treatment involving the transfer of engineered disease-fighting immune cells into a patient. Dr. Hirayama leverages state-of-the-art technologies to gain a comprehensive understanding of the factors impacting outcomes following these immunotherapies. Through his work, he aims to design and conduct clinical trials to hasten the development of more effective immunotherapies, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
