Experienced in Bone Marrow Transplant

Overview

For more than 20 years, I have had the privilege of taking care of children with some of the most difficult diagnoses, including leukemia, lymphoma, and other cancers, CGD and other immune deficiencies, thalassemia, sickle cell disease, and other blood disorders, and leukodystrophy, MPS, and other inherited disorders. Specializing in bone marrow transplants and hematopoietic cell transplants, I strive for my patients’ success. I feel fortunate to be providing care during a time when advancements in the medical field, fueled by incredible discoveries in immunology, drug development, genomics, and computing, have brought us closer to providing a good donor for almost all patients requiring a BMT or HCT.

As director of Duke’s sickle cell transition program, my practice and research focuses on treating children and adults with sickle cell disease. When I work with children, I try to focus on teaching them about their condition and how to transition successfully to living with the disease as an adult. For all patients, I focus on providing the medical, social and psychological support they need to remain healthy. My research aims to increase engagement of sickle cell patients with their own care using mobile technology. Through the use of applications, we’re hoping to help patients, specifically children, better manage their symptoms and medications. Outside of work, I have a strong interest in art. In fact, one of my undergraduate majors was biological illustration. I enjoy drawing plants, animals and people. I’ve recently started getting back into this hobby. Dr. Shah is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in Bone Marrow Transplant. His top areas of expertise are Sickle Cell Disease, Hemoglobinopathy, Congenital Hemolytic Anemia, Hemolytic Anemia, and Bone Marrow Transplant.
