The Division of Hematology plans to recruit a junior faculty member into a pivotal role to enhance and extend the strengths of its research portfolio. Currently, the Division of Hematology has several physician scientists who work on sickle cell disease, hemostasis/thrombosis, and vascular malformations. Funded investigators study erythrocyte biology, drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, animal models of disease, genetic modifiers of hematological diseases and their treatments, and individualized therapeutic dosing.
