Aplastic Anemia and Supportive Care with Dr. Phil Scheinberg, MD

Dr. Phil Scheinberg, MD, holds the position as Chief of Clinical Hematology at the Hospital Sao Jose, Beneficencia Portuguesa de Sao Paolo in Brazil. Dr. Scheinberg held a Hematology/Oncology Fellowship (2001-2005) before becoming a staff clinician at the Hematology Branch of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, MD.

Dr. Scheinberg’s focus lies in advancing clinical protocols in bone marrow failure syndromes such as aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes and large granular lymphocytic leukemia. The main objective of these protocols was to investigate novel immunosuppressive regimens that will improve the response rate in untreated severe aplastic anemia (SAA) and prevent relapses and clonal evolution to myelodysplastic syndromes.
