What this research studies
This award provides partial salary support for Dr. Mehdi Hamadani, who leads the Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (BMT/CT) program at MCW. He divides his time between seeing adult patients and directing NCI-funded clinical trials, and the funding covers 30% of his effort to continue that work. The role includes administering trials, enrolling patients, and improving the clinical research operations of the Cancer Center. The BMT/CT program treats hundreds of active patients and is a major source of trial enrollment at MCW.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults (21+) with blood cancers or patients being considered for bone marrow transplant or cellular therapy at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
Not a fit: Patients without blood cancers, pediatric patients, or those unable to receive care in Milwaukee are unlikely to benefit directly from this award.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could gain better access to high-quality NCI-funded trials, improved trial coordination, and potentially faster enrollment at MCW.
How similar studies have performed: Providing protected research time for experienced clinician-investigators is a well-established approach that has previously improved trial enrollment and continuity of care at cancer centers.
