Welcome to Pediatric Stem Cell TransplantationThe Pediatric Stem Cell Transplantation section is very proud of the outstanding compassionate care that we provide our patients along with conducting state of the art basic and translational science on stem cell biology, cellular immunology and transplantation biology. The section is focused on the comprehensive evaluation and care of patients with complex hematological malignancies, bone marrow failure syndromes and a variety of genetic disorders where bone marrow transplantation can provide benefit. The Pediatric Stem Cell Transplantation program began in 1986 by Michael Amylon, MD and since then has provided transplantation services for over 700 patients. Our team-based treatment approach involves faculty, fellows, residents, nurse practitioners, as well as a cadre of dedicated staff who provide the best possible care for our patients undergoing treatment at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford University. Our faculty performs cutting edge research exploring basic biology and translational research opportunities. The Division runs a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) cell processing laboratory where all clinical material is prepared for transplantation and where complex cell separation and expansion protocols can be accomplished. More basic faculty laboratories perform research under NIH and foundation support. We pride ourselves in training physician scientists and performing translational research to find better approaches for the treatment of our patients and advancement of the field. Rajni Agarwal, MD |
