Dr. Neil Dunavin is a hematologist who cares for patients with leukemia, including those receiving stem cell transplantation. He also treats patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (bone marrow disorders that cause abnormalities in the blood cells produced there), myeloproliferative neoplasms (blood cancers that occur when the bone marrow overproduces one of the blood cell types), aplastic anemia (when the bone marrow stops making enough new blood cells) and bone marrow failure (when the body's needs for new healthy blood cells are not being met).

Dunavin's research focuses on treatments for blood and bone marrow cancers. He has been involved in numerous clinical trials to evaluate promising therapies. He is also interested in quality improvement for patient care in hematology and stem cell transplantation.

Dunavin earned his medical degree at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. He completed a residency in internal medicine at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, where he served as chief resident. He completed a fellowship in hematology and stem cell transplantation at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center.

    I traveled some distance to return to the wonderful care at this Hemo Clinic. Dr. Dunavin, in addition to being a accomplished professional, is a sweet and kind man. This message is meant however, to praise the reception staff...frontline employees who handle countless patients. They not only recognized me after more than a year, but they welcomed me with warmth and kindness.

    I have been dealing with leukemia, in one form or fashion, since 2000. I have received treatment and consultations from world renowned physicians at the best research medical centers in the U.S. I have consulted with UCSF several times in the past ten years. Dr. Dunavin and UCSF rank at the top of the quality scale.
