Scientific Interests

Dr. Gary Schiller's research projects include: clinical studies of new drugs, therapies and bone marrow transplantation for patients with malignancies of the blood or bone marrow such as leukemia, multiple myeloma and lymphoma.

Schiller has carried out studies of stem cell transplantation following high-dose chemotherapy and radiation for acute myelogenous leukemia, one of the most common types of leukemia in adults. Schiller has also carried out work with purified stem cell transplantation for multiple myeloma. He and his colleagues are conducting ongoing studies using new drugs and therapeutics for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia and multiple myeloma. The researchers are also studying certain kinds of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Schiller's approach is to put into clinical trials new treatments developed in the laboratory for patients with blood stem cell diseases or cancers of the bone marrow and blood.
