Timothy Olson Laboratory
Led by Timothy S. Olson, MD, PhD, researchers in the Olson laboratory are developing and evaluating methods to improve clinical outcomes for pediatric patients with inherited or acquired bone marrow failure after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Specifically, researchers in the Olson laboratory are searching for strategies to reduce the incidence of graft failure and minimize post transplantation toxicities in pediatric patients with bone marrow failure.
