Summary

  • I am a pediatric hematologist/oncologist and stem cell transplanter with a particular interest in bone marrow failure disorders, both inherited and acquired. I specifically care for patients with acquired aplastic anemia, Diamond Blackfan anemia, Fanconi anemia, Shwachman Diamond syndrome and other such disorders. I am Head of the Bone Marrow Failure Program at Cohen Children's Medical Center.
    The goal of my long-standing research project has been to promote the understanding of Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA), a rare, inherited bone marrow failure syndrome, by studying the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and genetics of the syndrome. As such, I established the Diamond Blackfan Anemia Registry (DBAR) of North America in 1991 and to date there are over 800 patients enrolled, making this the largest of all the DBA registries. The DBAR has received funding from the National Institutes of Health/National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. These data along with the DBA DNA Biorepository have been instrumental in the discovery of 11 of the 27 confirmed DBA genes. I have been the Director of the DBAR since its inception and am also Director of the Comprehensive DBA Clinical Care Center at Cohen Children’s Medical Center. As such I am referred patients from throughout the United States, Canada and from abroad. I was the Principal Investigator of three Phase I/II clinical trials for DBA which are now closed. We anticipate more such therapeutic trials in the future. We are also working on gene therapy trials.
