Dr. Abdulmalik’s research interests involve hemoglobinopathies and red blood cell disorders, with a focus on sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia.
Sarah Adams
Adams joined the Kurre Laboratory in 2022 and is working to understand clonal hematopoiesis in Fanconi Anemia to advance understanding of and treatments for pediatric hematological disorders.
Denise Adams, MD
Dr. Adams is director of the Comprehensive Vascular Anomalies Program, a cutting-edge, multidisciplinary program that seeks breakthrough treatments and cures for children, adolescents, and young adults with rare, life-threatening tumors and malformations.
Temilola Adepoju, BA
Temilola Adepoju is a research technician in the Optical Neuroimaging Laboratory.
N. Scott Adzick, MD, MMM, FACS, FAAP
The founder and director of CHOP's Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment, Dr. Adzick is an innovator in the field of fetal medicine, pursuing groundbreaking prenatal treatment for debilitating birth defects. He led the NIH-funded "Management of Myelomeningocele Study" (MOMS) at CHOP, a breakthrough research program that showed fetal surgery for spina bifida results in significantly improved outcomes.
Eva L. Agostino
Eva Agostino is a second year graduate student in the Microbiology, Virology, and Parasitology Program at the University of Pennsylvania.
Rebecca C. Ahrens-Nicklas, MD, PhD
Dr. Ahrens-Nicklas works to understand why patients with inherited biochemical disorders often suffer severe, untreatable neurologic and cardiac symptoms. She strives to elucidate the link between biochemistry and network excitability, in order to drive new approaches to therapy.
Erfan Akbari, MS, DABR, DABSNM
Erfan Akbari is a medical physicist who is board certified in Diagnostic Medical Physics, Nuclear Medical Physics, and Health Physics.
Aletha Akers, MD, MPH
Dr. Akers is an adolescent gynecologist and her research focuses on improving reproductive health outcomes among adolescent women by reducing teen pregnancy, and reducing sexually transmitted infection rates by increasing adolescents’ access to high quality reproductive health services.
Naiara Akizu, PhD
Dr. Akizu's research focuses on cerebellar ataxias and motoneuron disorders, with the specific goals of uncovering the particularities of these neuronal types, understanding disease mechanisms, and exploring treatment options.
Aaron Alexander-Bloch, MD, PhD
Dr. Alexander-Bloch investigates normal brain development and the altered developmental trajectories that lead to mental illness. His multi-disciplinary research integrates brain imaging, genomics and clinical information.
Dana Alkhulaifat, MD
Dr. Alkhulaifat is a research assistant whose focus is artificial intelligence.
Julian L. Allen, MD
The research interests of Dr. Allen include lung function testing in children, adolescents, and infants; developmental chest wall physiology; pulmonary complications of sickle cell disease; and complications of cystic fibrosis.
Laura Almasy, PhD
Dr. Almasy's work involves statistical genetic studies of addiction, autism, schizophrenia, and related quantitative risk factors.
Sandra Amaral, MD, MHS
Dr. Amaral's research is focused on kidney transplantation with particular interests in reducing treatment burden for adolescents and young adults — from designing studies to make daily medication regimens easier to diagnosing transplant injury earlier using innovative, noninvasive approaches.
Jason B. Anari, MD
Dr. Anari has research interests in pediatric chest wall and spinal deformities. His current research projects include understanding how children respond overall to chest wall surgery in thoracic insufficiency. He's working to identify which patients with early-onset scoliosis are at risk for unplanned surgery in an attempt to limit anesthesia exposure to the developing brain.
Stewart A. Anderson, MD
Dr. Anderson’s research interests focus on the molecular and cellular mechanisms that govern the development of the mammalian forebrain. In his research on the development of the cerebral cortex, he is particularly interested in understanding the molecular underpinnings behind the fate determination and axon targeting of subclasses of GABAergic interneurons implicated in the neuropathology of schizophrenia.
Richard Aplenc, MD, PhD, MSCE
Dr. Aplenc investigates ways to improve the outcomes of children with cancer, particularly acute myeloid leukemia, with clinical epidemiology studies and translational research.
Kristy B. Arbogast, PhD
As a bioengineer, Dr. Arbogast's research focuses on pediatric injury biomechanics, injury causation and the effectiveness of safety products for children with a concentration in pediatric concussion and brain health, as well as the safety of children and youth in motor vehicle crashes.
Yair Argon, PhD
Dr. Argon investigates the unfolded protein response (UPR) , an essential signaling network that determines life or death of stressed cells and tissues. The IRE1 sensor of UPR responds to metabolic stress through four distinct activities and he focuses on determining which stress condition induces each activity and how they are integrated to enable the cells to cope with stress.
Alexandre Arkader, MD
Dr. Arkader is one of few orthopedic surgeons in the country with formal training in both pediatric orthopedics and orthopedic oncology. He has a special interest in complex trauma and limb deformities, and specializes in external fixation methods and other minimally invasive techniques for limb preservation and equalization benefiting growing children.
Abinaya Arulselvan, BDS, MPH
