Hematologist
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Med Ctr/U Cincinnati College of Medicine
Lori Luchtman-Jones MD, Pediatric Hematologist, Clinical Director of Hematology, Medical Director of the Hemostasis and Thrombosis Laboratory and Director of Thrombosis Research at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, has a clinical and research interest in pediatric thrombosis and hemostasis, especially the interplay between chronic diseases like sickle cell and thrombosis. Though rare in healthy children, thrombosis is increasing among pediatric and young adult patients and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly if untreated or sub-optimally treated. Few treatments have been well-studied in pediatrics: management is extrapolated from adult data, commonly with a mean age of more than 50 years. She has over 25 years’ experience in clinical investigation, including Phase I, II and III clinical trials, having served as Principal Investigator or Institutional Principal Investigator/Clinical Investigator on 16 investigator-initiated or multi-institutional NIH- and 18 industry-funded projects. In her role as an attending Hematologist, she treats patients with thrombosis and bleeding disorders and mentors physicians-in-training in clinic and as a clinical research mentor. As a member of the multidisciplinary Cerebrovascular Program at CCHMC, she works collaboratively to improve outcomes and enhance understanding of the etiologies and risk factors for pediatric stroke (arterial or venous). As medical director of the Hemostasis and Thrombosis Laboratory, she is involved in new test development, including innovating anticoagulation monitoring, as well as mentoring PhD and MD fellows in joint translational research projects.
