He then completed a fellowship in hematology and medical oncology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine where he also served as chief fellow. Finally, Dr. Assal completed a fellowship in blood and marrow stem cell transplantation at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
During his time working at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, and now at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, his approach to medicine is to understand the patient as a whole.

Board-certified in internal medicine, hematology, and medical oncology, he is a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).

On a professional level, Dr. Assal is an active member of the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation, the American Society of Hematology, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the American College of Physicians, and the American Medical Association.
His research interests center around improving outcomes of stem cell transplantation and cellular therapy while making them safer with fewer side effects. He has a particular interest in immunotherapy and studying ways to harness the immune system to attack tumor cells, while at the same time decreasing the risk of graft versus host disease and other complications.
