His research interests are normal and aberrant hematopoiesis, autoimmunity in hematology, the genetics and genomics of aplastic anemia and related syndromes, and viral infections of blood forming cells. His career has been wide ranging, from basic molecular biology, virology, immunology, and cell biology to translational research, epidemiology, and pioneering interventional clinical trials. The Hematology Branch clinic is the major American referral center for marrow failure syndromes. Results from his work have deeply informed our understanding of the pathophysiology of human disease and development of effective treatments, for aplastic anemia, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, myelodysplastic syndromes and related diseases. He has published more than 450 original research articles and 100s of reviews and chapters, including many monographs and more than two dozen articles in the New England Journal of Medicine. His trainees are the current leaders and international experts in the field of marrow failure. His accomplishments have been recognized by the American Society of Hematology with the E. Donnall Thomas and Beutler Prizes, and awards such as the Adolfo Storti Award, the Erasmus Prize, and lifetime honorary membership in the Mexican Society for Hematology. For public service, he received the Heyman Service to America Award for civil service and the Vietnam People’s Award for his innovative teaching program in that country.
