Stanford researchers and physicians work hand in hand to translate cutting-edge research into lifesaving cures.
We conduct research related to every condition we treat, including:
Stanford doctors recently identified a protein that may help lead to better treatments for Diamond Blackfan anemia. In Diamond Blackfan anemia, patients make very few red blood cells. Many patients need regular blood transfusions, which means frequent doctor or hospital visits. Patients also receive steroid medications, but these have several side effects. Our doctors are working to find a drug that could stimulate red blood cell formation without the side effects of current therapies.
