Research

Riley Children's Center for Cancer & Blood Diseases is affiliated with the IU Health Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center, the state’s only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center for clinical care.

Our hematologists actively participate in groundbreaking clinical trials, and we are currently offering more clinical trials for sickle cell disease than ever before. Some are exclusive to Riley in the Midwest or not widely available, including an NIH-funded acupuncture study specific to sickle cell disease and therapeutic trials for voxelotor and imatinib.

Education

The Comprehensive Hematology Program helps train the next generation of pediatric hematologists and oncologists. Pediatric oncology/hematology fellows at the Indiana University School of Medicine learn about the latest advancements in personalized cancer treatment by spending part of their training with our team.
