The BMT Program at Loyola Medicine has long been a leader in Hematology research and therapy within the Chicagoland area and nationally with longstanding excellence of its Cellular Therapy and BMT Programs. Loyola University is a BMT-CTN core center as part of the Oregon Health and Science University consortium and is actively involved in the development and implementation of BMT-CTN clinical trials and has been a leader of SWOG malignant Hematology and BMT studies for the past 35 years.
The BMT Program performs over 120 adult transplants per year and an increasing number of CAR-T treatments in its dedicated inpatient and outpatient space to care for patients with its multidisciplinary team of physicians, APPs, social workers, nurse coordinators, and financial counselors. The BMT Program runs the outpatient High Dose Unit with 12-day hospital beds that afford it the ability to provide day long complex treatments including outpatient transplants on a 365-day basis.
The Loyola Medicine BMT Program was the first in the state of Illinois to perform CAR-T and continues to be a leader in this field as the only center capable of producing CAR-Ts in-house with its cGMP core lab. The BMT Program is fully accredited by the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) and the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP). The center routinely performs allografts from matched related, matched unrelated, and haploidentical transplants and has been a leader in cord blood transplantation for the past 20 years.
This is an exciting opportunity for the right Hematologist to join Loyola Medicine.
