Dr Anwarul Islam is a Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hematology/Oncology of the Department of Medicine at the State University of New York at Buffalo, USA. He trained at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School, Hammersmith Hospital in London, England, where he conducted research on bone marrow structure in human leukemia, which earned him a PhD from London University. Because of his outstanding work on leukemia and stem cells, he was invited to Roswell Park Cancer Institute, where he continued his work with Edward Henderson, MD, the Chief of Medical Oncology. Dr Islam revolutionized the bone marrow procedure by inventing and patenting the first bone marrow biopsy needle with a core retention device. He also developed and patented a multiport bone marrow aspiration needle to overcome the sampling errors inherent in the technique of bone marrow aspiration, a harvesting needle for bone marrow transplantation, and a sternal puncture needle to overcome all of the disadvantages associated with conventional sternal puncture needles. He has published over 140 articles in reputable journals, including Lancet, British Journal of Haematology, Blood and the New England Journal of Medicine. He is also a member of many professional societies in his field, including the American Society of Hematology.
