👥Biography 个人简介
Usama Gergis is a distinguished transplant physician who has led innovative programs in haploidentical stem cell transplantation and cellular therapy. Formerly at Weill Cornell Medicine, he pioneered post-transplant cyclophosphamide-based haploidentical platforms that dramatically expand donor availability, particularly for patients lacking matched donors.
🧪Research Fields 研究领域
🎓Key Contributions 主要贡献
Haploidentical Transplantation
Established and optimized haploidentical HSCT programs using post-transplant cyclophosphamide, enabling transplantation for patients without matched siblings or unrelated donors.
Alternative Donor Platform Development
Developed institutional protocols integrating bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell grafts in haploidentical settings, comparing GvHD rates and immune reconstitution across platforms.
Cellular Therapy Program Leadership
Built comprehensive cellular therapy programs incorporating CAR-T cell therapy alongside transplant, managing complex referrals including relapsed/refractory lymphoma and leukemia.
