Dr. Gary Kleiner Wins Micah Batchelor Award for Stem Cell Transplant Research
|
| Gary I. Kleiner, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of clinical pediatrics and recipient of the 2009 Micah Batchelor Award. |
Gary I. Kleiner, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of clinical pediatrics and the director of the Jeffrey Model Center for Primary Immune Deficiencies, is the 2009 recipient of the prestigious Micah Batchelor Award for Excellence in Children's Health Research. His winning research proposal is designed to make stem cell transplants an option for more children afflicted with hematologic disorders, primary immune deficiencies and cancer.
Kleiner, a specialist in pediatric immunology and allergy, plans to use the $300,000 that accompanies the award to test his hypothesis that using a combination of stem cells from a sick child's parents and unrelated umbilical cord blood from a bank will reduce the risks of, and barriers to, stem cell transplants, enabling more children to qualify for them.
