 My name is Dr. Ashka Namadi. I am the Professor of Medicine and Pharmacology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and University of Maryland Greenbaum Comprehensive Cancer Center. I am a medical oncologist, hematologist, and my major focus is on treating people with blood cancers, particularly patients with acute and chronic leukemias. And at the same time, I am an active investigator. I do have an active basic science lab, and I am a principal investigator of several clinical trials with novel agents for treatment of hematologic malignancies, which are blood cancers. We are very passionate about our patients. It's a really close relationship. I really feel honored and privileged to be involved in patients' life. And at the same time, we provide this state of the art treatment to our patients based on the available therapy that their FDA approved. And then in the instances that the disease come back, we have several novel clinical trials that they are developed here based on the science that we developed at the University of Maryland. I always tell the patients that I am your physician, but my job is not to dictate what is my goal. I see what is the patient's goal, and then I try to offer options to there they achieve their goals. People in different stages of their lives, they have different goals. Some people, they are after cure. For young people, healthy people, they are after cure. Some diseases may not be, quote, unquote, curable, but if people, they have some milestone in their life. They want to see their grandchildren. They want to see their daughter, son, they get married. They want to see their loved one to go to college. So these are my job is to provide the most efficacious and most tolerable options for my patients coming from different socioeconomic and cultural background to achieve their own goals. I always tell my son that I feel that I am a lucky person. I am, I really, truly love my job, and this is what I was dreamed for, and I have been very fortunate that I have been doing this for now several years.
