    Ami J. Shah

    Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Stem Cell Transplantation

    BioDr. Shah joined Stanford University in 2015 as a Clinical Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Hematology/ Oncology, Stem Cell Transplantation and Regenerative Medicine. Dr. Shah completed medical school at the University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill. She completed her training in Pediatrics and Pediatric Hematology/ Oncology at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. Her areas of clinical expertise have been in stem cell transplantation for malignant and non-malignant disorders. She has been actively involved with the care and treatment of children with primary immune deficiencies and is the site PI for the Primary Immune Deficiencies Consortium (PIDTC). She has experience in numerous gene therapy trials for primary immune deficiencies, hemoglobinopathies and other genetic diseases. She has a specific interest in the long term outcomes following HSCT, in specific the neurocognitive function post HSCT. She has been an active participant in American Society of Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT), Children's Oncology Group (COG) and American Society of Hematology (ASH).

    She has been actively involved with mentorship and graduate medical education, and currently serves as the Program Director for the Pediatric Hematology/ Oncology Fellowship and the Pediatric Stem Cell Fellowship. She also serves on the Pediatric Mentoring Group.
