Years 2 and 3 of the Pediatric Hematology/Oncology/Blood and Marrow Transplant Program are dedicated to hypothesis-driven research. Two distinct research pathways are offered, laboratory-based research and clinical research. A major goal of our training program is to provide fellows a focused environment in which they can develop research interests and be positioned to successfully compete for extramural funding upon completion of their training. Each of our fellows is assigned a three-member Scholarship Oversight Committee (SOC) to help the fellow choose a suitable mentor and research project. The SOC will guide the fellow along with their research mentor meeting regularly during the 3 years of the fellowship training.

Multidisciplinary teams within the section take problems encountered in the clinic back to the laboratory to better understand cellular and molecular mechanisms, then return to the clinic with improved treatment strategies. Active translational research programs include experimental hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation, cancer immunotherapy, mechanisms of vaso颅occlusion in sickle cell disease and bleeding disorders, and the diagnosis and treatment of vascular tumors and anomalies.

Fellows in the clinical research track have the opportunity to pursue a master's degree in Clinical and Translational Science, Public Health, or Bioethics. The section of Hematology-Oncology has a long-standing commitment to basic and translational research that stems from the work carried out in our basic science laboratories, development of and participation in institutional and cooperative group trials (including Phase I trials), as well as in epidemiology and outcomes research. Important clinical questions are the focus of active collaborations involving clinical and basic science investigators within our section as well as expert research staff in neighboring research institutions.
