Our Team
At the University of Chicago Hospitals, stem cell transplant patients and their families receive care from a closely knit multidisciplinary team of clinicians. Each patient and their family are cared for by:
- A primary transplant physician who is also a hematologist/oncologist
- A dedicated nurse coodinator
- A social worker
- A financial counselor who can answer questions about insurance coverage.
- An inpatient team of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other clinicians who oversee the patient's care during his or her hospital stay
- Other support staff, including dietitians and pharmacists, as needed
All of the physicians in the stem cell transplant program are recognized nationally and internationally for their expertise:
- They are very active in important organizations devoted to cancer and stem cell research. For example, our director is the co-chair of the Lymphoma Committee for the International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry.
- They are widely published in leading medical journals, and their opinion is sought by other physicians around the world. Many of our physicians speak regularly at international symposiums.
- Their research is funded by the National Institutes of Health and other organizations.
