Nadim Mahmud, MD, PhD, is Professor in the Division of Hematology and Oncology at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at UIC. His research is focused on stem cell expansion, hematopoiesis, stem cell transplantation, cell-based therapy and leukemia. Since 2001, he has served as Director of the Clinical Stem Cell Laboratory for the UI Health Blood and Marrow Transplant Program. His clinical laboratory is responsible for processing, storing and releasing stem cell grafts for administration to patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation or other cell-based therapy. He also has extensive experience in studies of blood cell regeneration, which includes bone marrow failure following myeloablative radiation or chemotherapy. His lab has found a novel way to expand the number of transplantable blood forming stem cells present in an umbilical cord blood graft by using chromatin modifying agents and has been awarded a U.S. patent for this work.
