Summary
Clinically Dr. Premnath focuses on myeloid malignancies and a premalignant condition called clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential. Having completed training in palliative care in addition to hematology/oncology, a main focus of his research has been supportive care for cancer patients as well as other aspects of cancer care like financial toxicity that matter most to patients and caregivers. He is actively involved in clinical research in the myeloid realm and has recently had a Phase 1 trial approved in MDS/AML. He looks forward to starting a clonal hematopoiesis focused clinic and a biobank as part of that effort.
