Biography

Dr. Timothy Fenske attended medical school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he also completed an MS degree in cellular and molecular biology. After completing a residency in internal medicine at UW-Madison, he then completed a fellowship in hematology and oncology at Washington University (Barnes Hospital) in St. Louis, where he was awarded a position on the National Institutes of Health Hematology Training Grant. He joined the faculty of the Medical College of Wisconsin in 2005 and is board-certified in internal medicine and medical oncology.

Research Interests

His clinical and research efforts are focused on the care of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (Hodgkin's disease) and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He is particularly interested in innovative treatments for lymphoma, including novel pharmaceutical, immunological, and stem cell transplant therapies, as well as strategies to minimize the toxicity of therapy.

Is autologous transplant in relapsed DLBCL patients achieving only a PET+ PR appropriate in the CAR T-cell era?
