Physicians and scientists in each of the clinical programs within the Division of Hematology/Oncology are actively engaged in research to increase our level of understanding of pediatric cancers and non-malignant blood disorders in order to improve the treatments available.

Researchers based at Children's Hospital enjoy fertile collaborations with those at neighboring institutions, including Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and The Center for Blood Research.

Featured researchers in the Division of Hematology/Oncology hold faculty appointments at Harvard Medical School.
