Bio

Dr. Peranteau's areas of interest include fetal biology, fetal and neonatal surgery, and general pediatric surgery. A native of Gloucester City, New Jersey, he earned his bachelor’s degree in molecular biology from Princeton University, and his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Peranteau joined the Richard D. Wood Jr. Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment team in 2012.

Prior to joining the center, Dr. Peranteau held a fellowship in pediatric general surgery at CHOP. He also served as a research fellow with CHOP’s Center for Fetal Research, where he investigated the role of in utero bone marrow and stem cell transplantation for the management of congenital hematologic disorders such as sickle cell disease.

“This area of research is potentially readily translatable to clinical application,” Dr. Peranteau said. “The group of people not only within the Department of Pediatric General Surgery and the Richard D. Wood Jr. Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment but also the CHOP community as a whole, with experts in every field of pediatrics, make CHOP an unbelievable place to work and a place that’s ripe for advancing clinical medicine.”

Dr. Peranteau has published articles in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons, the Journal of Pediatric Surgery, Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy, Experimental Hematology, and Blood. He is board certified in pediatric surgery and general surgery.
