Extensive Research Description

My main areas of interest are clinical research in hemoglobinopathies, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and systems approach to the delivery of care including newborn screening, international outreach, community outreach and the use of informatics to enhance care. I am the PI on and NHLBI funded R34 for BMT for adults with sickle cell disease and on two separate PCORI-funded projects, one developing a decision aid for treatment of patients with sickle cell disease with hydroxyurea and stem cell transplant and the second evaluating improvement of adherence to hydroxyurea therapy directly observed via cell phone camera.
