Founded in 1937, Winship currently serves over 17,000 patients per year from Georgia, the Southeast, and across the United States. Winship’s 450 faculty members include top clinicians and researchers from around the world working together to discover and deliver the most effective ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat each patient’s unique cancer. Jonathon Cohen, MD, the Principal Investigator for the LEO Consortium at Emory, is the Co-Director of the Emory Lymphoma Program at Winship and Professor of Hematology and Oncology at the Emory University School of Medicine. His areas of focus include treatment of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, where he manages both newly diagnosed patients as well as those requiring stem cell transplantation and treatment for a relapsed disease. His research focus includes the clinical investigation of lymphoma, where he aims to identify prognostic markers and designs clinical trials with novel agents for patients with relapsed disease. He is currently a member of the ECOG Lymphoma Core Committee and a regular participant in the CIBMTR lymphoma committee.
