The Division of Hematology, Oncology, Transplant, and Cellular Therapy within the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health is recruiting a Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant and Cellular Therapy (SCTCT) Physician. We are looking for candidates with a track record of clinical excellence and academic contributions as demonstrated through training and/or practice experience in caring for patients undergoing stem cell transplantation and other cellular therapies like CAR T therapy.

Our SCTCT program includes a hematopoietic cell processing facility that has been FACT accredited since 2001, and it conducts novel investigator-initiated therapeutic trials such as using alpha/beta T cell depleted haploidentical transplantation for the treatment of relapsed pediatric solid tumors. In addition, we are a certified Kymriah treatment center and participate in a number of consortium and industry-sponsored cell therapy trials.
