Medical Advisory Board

The twenty-five medical advisors we rely upon to guide and review our work are leading authorities on bone marrow failure: A condition that occurs when the bone marrow stops making enough healthy blood cells. The most common of these rare diseases are aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Bone marrow failure can be acquired (begin any time in life) or can be… disease in the U.S. and overseas. Thanks to their excellent oversight, we can be confident that everything we teach and publish represents the latest thinking, research and best practices in the fields of hematology and oncology.
