The Section of Hematology-Oncology is active in clinical research, along with our colleagues at Lutheran General Hospital. There are many in-house studies that reflect faculty interests, and provide a bridge between laboratory and clinic.
Several projects are underway which combine laboratory and clinical studies.
The largest of such endeavors is the Sickle Cell Center, which includes investigators from around the city of Chicago, united around a large population of children and adults with sickle cell anemia.
