Research Interests

The objectives of the clinical research program are:
1. to improve therapeutic outcomes and/or reduce complications of treatment, and
2. to further elucidate the underlying biology of Hodgkin’s disease (HD) and the non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL).

The research program is highly collaborative and includes ongoing clinical trials with myeloablative therapy in HD and NHL with the Bone Marrow Transplant team, combined modality trials in HD with Radiation Oncology, clinical-pathologic correlative studies with Pathology, and drug development with an emphasis on targeted therapy for B-cell lymphoma (anti-CD20) with industrial collaborators.

Dr. Horning is chairman of the Lymphoma Committee for the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, a forum for extending pilot studies to multi-institutional trials. Dr. Horning supervises a sophisticated multi-relational Lymphoma Database which has information on over 15,000 patients, an excellent resource for prospective and retrospective clinical investigations
