Cosmin A. Tegla, MD

As a hematologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing personalized care with compassion. My approach to patient care is rooted in the belief that individuals deserve a treatment plan tailored to their unique needs and circumstances. I strive to ensure that my patients feel heard and supported throughout their healthcare journey, leveraging the latest advances in medical research and technology to offer the best possible outcomes.

I specialize in treating patients with all types of lymphoma, with a particular focus on T-cell lymphoma. My expertise extends to managing both newly diagnosed patients and those seeking advanced options for complex or relapsed cases. In addition to lymphoma, I care for individuals with other blood cancers and a variety of benign hematologic conditions. My goal is to combine direct patient care with cutting-edge research to make meaningful differences in my patients' lives.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to advancing the field of hematology through research and clinical trials. My work includes performing bone marrow biopsies, lumbar punctures, and intrathecal chemotherapy, which are essential procedures in diagnosing and treating blood disorders. My involvement in innovative projects and clinical trials ensures that my patients have access to the latest treatment options and advances in care.

My journey into medicine was driven by a desire to solve medical challenges that impact people's lives. My passion for biology began early, earning awards in national and international Biology Olympiads, and evolved into a commitment to medicine. I chose hematology because of my fascination with the blood, immune system, and molecular biology, areas that I explored extensively during my postdoctoral research and hematology-oncology fellowship. This background has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide exceptional care to my patients.
