Division of  Classical Hematology

Support Our Work

The Division of Classical Hematology is one of the most respected programs of its kind in the United States, with a dedicated group of physician-scientists focused on research and development of successful therapies for complex blood disorders, including hemophilia, blood clotting disorders, sickle cell disease, porphyria and autoimmune and acquired red blood cell and platelet disorders. Through our clinical, basic and translational research programs, our faculty members are defining life-saving approaches and transforming breakthroughs in their laboratories into clinical applications for patients within the region and beyond.

Our work is built on a strong foundation of innovative research and discovery that supports the most up-to-date practices and technologies. Our dedication to improving clinical practice and research is matched only by our emphasis on mentoring and training the next generation of hematology specialists through our unique collaboration with clinical partner UPMC and its residency and fellowship training programs.
