Ann A. Jakubowski, MD, PhD - MSK Bone Marrow Transplant Specialist

I provide blood or marrow stem cell transplants and other cell therapies for the treatment of leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and selected solid tumors in adult patients.

I am a board-certified medical oncologist with expertise in donor-derived hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cell transplantation. Hematopoietic stem cells from a donor other than the patient can cure many patients who have diseases of the blood and bone marrow, including leukemias and lymphomas. The donor stem cells can come from different sources (related or unrelated donors, and bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood units) and can be modified in different ways before transplantation to enhance their effectiveness.

I am a board-certified oncologist and hematologist, and work as part of a multidisciplinary team caring for patients with hematologic disorders. I have a special interest and expertise in treating patients with disorders that arise in white blood cells called plasma cells, including multiple myeloma and light chain (AL) amyloidosis.
