Raphael Szalat, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor, Hematology & Oncology
Biography
I received my medical training at the University of Pierre and Marie Curie, in Paris, France. After Internal Medicine residency, I specialized in Immunology and plasma cell disorders including multiple myeloma and monoclonal gammopathies of clinical significance and became a clinical assistant professor in the department of Immuno-Hematology in Saint-Louis hospital, Paris. I next completed a PhD and post-doc in hematology studying genomics in Multiple Myeloma at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School in collaboration with La Sorbonne University, Paris and a clinical fellowship in Hematology and Oncology at the Boston University Medical Center. I am currently the multiple myeloma program director and the Stem Cell Transplant director at the Boston University Medical Center. My main interests are to develop myeloma clinical trials and to perform basic and translational research on multiple myeloma and other plasma cell disorders including AL amyloidosis and other monoclonal gammopathy of clinical significance.
