General hematology

Specific interest in clinical thrombosis and hemostasis, management of anticoagulation, hemophilia, pregnancy-related hematologic conditions, immune thrombocytopenia, and anemia.

Ami Bhatt, MD, PhD

Assistant Professor

My laboratory uses molecular, micro- and computational biology techniques to dissect the role of the microbiota in hematological disorders.

We hope to target vulnerabilities in hematological disorders characterizing and modifying the human microbiota, thereby improving patient outcomes.

Professor

Phase I/II trial evaluation of novel therapies for myelodysplastic syndromes, acute myelogenous leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, and chronic myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs, eg. polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, primary myelofibrosis, hypereosinophilic syndromes, and systemic mastocytosis) Translational research collaborations to interrogate the molecular basis of CML and chronic MPDs

Peter L. Greenberg, MD

Professor, Emeritus (Active)  

As Director of the Stanford MDS Center, Dr Peter Greenberg has an active clinical practice focusing on evaluating and treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and clonal myeloid disorders. His clinical research involves design and coordination of clinical trials using experimental drugs with biologic focus for both lower and higher risk MDS patients not responding to standard therapies. He is Coordinator of the International Working Group for Prognosis in MDS (IWG-PM) which generated the revised MDS classification system (the IPSS-R) and that is now evaluating the impact of molecular mutations on this risk-based prognostic system. He is Chair of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Practice Guidelines Panel for MDS and is a member of the World Health Organization (WHO) Clinical Advisory Committee for Classification of  hematopoietic neoplasms: AML and myeloid neoplasms.

Beth A. Martin, MD

Clinical Assistant Professor 

Clinical interests include the histiocytoses including HLH/MAS, autoimmune hematology including T-LGL, AIHA, and Castleman.  Educational interests include physical diagnosis, clinical decision-making and communication under desperate circumstances, and chemotherapy.  My research focuses on HLH.

Bruno Medeiros, MD

Affiliated Professor

My research interests focus on the experimental therapeutics of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) with the ultimate goal of improving our understanding of the genomic abnormalities responsible for leukemogenesis and how these abnormalities can be exploited therapeutically. It also includes the development and incorporation of novel agents into the treatment regimens for young and older patients with AML and those with acute leukemia secondary to antecedent hematologic disorders.
