    Oliver Van Oekelen, MD, PhD

    Hematology/Oncology Fellow
    Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
    New York, New York

    Oliver Van Oekelen, MD, PhD completed is research training at the Graduate School for Biomedical Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in 2022. He completed Internal Medicine residency at Mount Sinai West/Morningside in New York and is currently a Hematology/Oncology Fellow at Mount Sinai Hospital.

    Oliver studies multiple myeloma, a hematological malignancy, in the lab of Dr. Samir Parekh. He focuses on the role of non-tumor cells (e.g. the immune cell repertoire) in the development of disease, in disease progression/relapse, and after treatment. Using next-generation sequencing at the single-cell level and mass cytometry, Oliver studies the intricate crosstalk between various cell types in the bone marrow microenvironment and tries to improve the outcomes of T-cell engaging therapies in multiple myeloma. Oliver conducts his research in close collaboration with the physicians at the Center of Excellence for Multiple Myeloma and with Dr. Alessandro Laganà, who acted as co-mentor for his PhD. Oliver has a broad interest in transitional biomedical research in immunology and oncology with a focus on bioinformatics and medical informatics approaches.
