Overview

My clinical and research focus is in blood and marrow transplantation. In addition to treating my young cancer patients, throughout my medical career I have had an active research laboratory in cancer and transplant immunology. I have been fortunate to see our research findings translate into clinical trials with real benefits for our patients. A good day for me has to start with a 5-10 mile run starting at 5:00 to beat the heat.

Dr. Katsanis is highly rated in 4 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Graft Versus Host Disease (GvHD), Dyserythropoietic Anemia and Thrombocytopenia, Leukemia, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), and Bone Marrow Transplant.

His clinical research consists of co-authoring 99 peer reviewed articles and participating in 4 clinical trials. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.
