Amrita Krishnan

Dr. Krishnan directs the Baskin Center for Multiple Myeloma and is a Director of the Multiple Myeloma Program, and a Professor of Hematology and Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation at the City of Hope National Medical Center. Equally driven as a clinician and researcher, Dr. Krishnan was instrumental in bringing successful transplant therapy to HIV patients with lymphoma, when many believed such patients were too weak to tolerate the procedure. “We have patients who had been told to get their affairs in order,” she says. “Years later, they are still here.” A key member of the City of Hope team since 1996, Dr. Krishnan trained at Albany Medical College and served as a Clinical Fellow at Harvard Medical School.
