Assistant Professor
Background
Dr. Kim-Hien Dao received her post-doctoral internal medicine training at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego, California, and hematology/oncology fellowship training at the University of California, San Diego. During her fellowship she was awarded a two-year Clinical Scholar Fellowship from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine. Her faculty mentor was Dr. Catriona Jamieson. She works with other scientists on several clinical trials (research studies), and plans to start her own clinical trials of new treatments for patients with myelodysplastic syndromes that are very likely to become leukemia. She spends much of her day in the laboratory, studying how blood diseases become leukemia. Dr. Dao hopes her research will help develop treatments to stop the development of leukemia.
