She is an expert in acute leukemia treatment and specializes in the application of autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantation for a vast array of hematologic malignancies.
Dr. Bambace is passionate about empowering patients with the necessary information to share in the decision-making process as well as training the next generation of future physician leaders.
“On behalf of our Miami Cancer Institute team of experts, I’m pleased to welcome Dr. Bambace to our community,” said Leonard Kalman, M.D., executive deputy director and chief medical officer at Miami Cancer Institute. “She understands that with each patient, she is treating a unique individual with a complex diagnosis, not a disease.

She held leadership positions in drug and practice regulation at both the provincial and national levels and notably participated in the task force that established the accreditation criteria for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for the Royal College of Physicians of Canada.
She is a member of the American Heart Association, American Society of Hematology and the American Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation.
After earning her medical degree from the Université de Montréal Medical School, Dr. Bambace completed her internal medicine residency and hematology-oncology fellowship at the University of Vermont.
