About Me

Alexey Danilov, M.D., Ph.D., is an accomplished researcher and globally recognized expert in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, mantle cell lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. At City of Hope® Cancer Center Duarte, he is a professor of hematology and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and serves in a variety of leadership roles in both the Toni Stephenson Lymphoma Center and City of Hope’s early clinical therapeutics program. 

Dr. Danilov—who is both a Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Scholar and the principal investigator on numerous research projects with funding from organizations such as the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the American Society of Hematology, the Lymphoma Research Foundation and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society—has developed and led dozens of clinical trials exploring innovative targeted therapies and immunotherapies for blood cancers. Through collaborations with the NCI, pharmaceutical companies and the Southwest Oncology Group’s Lymphoma Committee, Dr. Danilov has played an influential role in advancing global drug development efforts for hematologic malignancies. 

At City of Hope, Dr. Danilov oversees early-phase clinical research initiatives as part of the National Cancer Institute’s Experimental Therapeutics Clinical Trials Network. In his role with the Toni Stephenson Lymphoma Center, he steers both clinical and translational research focused on leukemia and lymphoma. A strong advocate of translational medicine, Dr. Danilov’s laboratory is dedicated to bridging scientific discoveries with patient care—bringing innovations from the bench to the bedside to benefit patients at Citi of Hope and beyond.

Patient reviews
The patient ratings and comments on this page are obtained from an external Press Ganey® outpatient survey provided to all eligible City of Hope patients within one to two weeks of their treatment occurrence. Raw data from the answers to the survey questions about our physicians are calculated by Press Ganey into a one- to five- star rating. In the spirit of transparency, all patient comments are posted as written by the patient, whether they are positive or negative. We only exclude comments if they are deemed to be slanderous or libelous, contain profanity or vulgar language, or do not relate to the patient's experience with the doctor involved. As a result, the comments are the views and opinions of the patients surveyed and are not endorsed by, and may not necessarily reflect the opinion of, City of Hope.
