Dr. Varga is am an Associatet Professor in the division of Hematology/Oncology at Levine Cancer Institute with a career dedicated to research in the field of amyloidosis and multiple myeloma. Amyloidosis is a rare but fatal disease that can affect the heart and other vital organs via the deposition of misfolded proteins. Dr. Varga's researchhas focused on both AL and TTR amyloidosis. Most recently, in collaboration with the neurosurgery department and Columbia University, she has been identifying patients with very early TTR by sending the ligamentum flavum of all patients undergoing laminectomy for congo red staining. If positive, the patient will then undergo further investigation for the presence of systemic disease via pyrophosphate scan and/or fat pad aspirates. In AL amyloidosis, Dr. Varga's research has focused on amyloid nephropathy, investigating predictors of renal response by looking at histologic characteristics as well as molecular markers. In multiple myeloma, Dr. Varga is principal investigator of multiple clinical trials studies including studies in relapsed/refractory MM, newly diagnosed MM, and high-risk smoldering MM. She has experience giving CAR-T therapy to patients with advanced MM.
