In this CMEO Snack, join expert faculty as they discuss best strategies to identify risk factors of CMV infection, recognize the impact of CMV on treatment outcomes, and ultimately develop balanced treatment plans for patients with CMV disease.
Dr. Genovefa Papanicolaou is the Director of Clinical Trials of the Infectious Disease Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Professor at Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University. Dr. Papanicolaou is the current Chair of the Infectious Disease Special Interest Group (ID-SIG) of the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT).
