Clinician Lead, Cancer Biology Training Program; Core Faculty, Medical Oncology and Hematology Fellowship ProgramBiography
Shalin Kothari, MD is an Assistant Professor of Medicine (Hematology) at Yale University. Dr. Kothari completed his residency in Internal Medicine at SUNY Upstate Medical University and his Hematology and Medical Oncology fellowship through the University at Buffalo/Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center where he was the Chief Fellow. He received his Medical Degree from Gujarat University in India.
Dr. Kothari specializes in the treatment of lymphomas. His research is focused on using his clinical skills and basic science knowledge to answer scientific questions focused on mechanistic understanding of lymphoma therapeutics and its translation in the form of early-phase clinical trials for various aggressive forms of B-cell lymphomas including mantle cell lymphoma. He also conducts research in the Müschen Laboratory here at Yale University with a specific focus on developing new therapies for mantle cell lymphoma.
He is a Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) Scholar, and an inductee of the ASH Advocacy Leadership Institute and the Gold Humanism Honor Society. He has presented his research in multiple national and international meetings and has won abstract achievement and travel awards.

Clinical Care
Overview
Shalin Kothari, MD, is a hematologist who treats patients with Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Dr. Kothari’s research focuses on treatments for various aggressive forms of B-cell lymphomas, such as mantle cell lymphomas and diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. This disease causes either circulating lymphoma cells in the blood and/or enlarged lymph nodes due to a rapid accumulation of lymphoma cells.
He is a Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) Scholar and an inductee of the ASH Advocacy Leadership Institute and the Gold Humanism Honor Society. Most recently, Dr. Kothari was awarded the Gerald L. Logue Memorial Award for Outstanding Performance in Hematology/Oncology and a research funding award from The DeLuca Center for Innovation in Hematology Research.
Dr. Kothari is an assistant professor of medicine (hematology) at Yale School of Medicine.
