Dr. Nathan no longer operates a research laboratory. Most of his academic effort is devoted to teaching students, house staff and fellows, mentoring young faculty members, and writing text book chapters, books and short articles. He and Stuart Orkin write a monthly column for Genome Medicine, an on-line journal. He continues his interest in the congenital and acquired bone marrow failure syndromes and the hemoglobinopathies. He has recently submitted a program project grant of which he is the PI devoted to an entirely new treatment of sickle cell crisis based on interference with iNKT cell function. He remains involved in policies concerning clinical research.
