About me

Mwanasha Hamuza Merrill is a hematologist-oncologist who cares for patients with blood cancers, including non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, Hodgkin's lymphomas and other lymphoproliferative diseases (those causing uncontrolled production of the white blood cells called lymphocytes).

In her research, Merrill focuses on advancing personalized treatments for people with B-cell lymphoma (the most common type) and T-cell lymphoma (a rare type). She is also interested in developing diagnostic tools to improve the speed and accuracy of lymphoma diagnosis for individuals in low- and middle-income countries who may lack access to advanced medical care.

Merrill earned her medical degree from Tufts University. She completed a residency in internal medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, followed by a fellowship in hematology-oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Mass General Brigham.
