Keith R. Mccrae MD

Originally from Maine, Dr. McCrae earned his undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College and his MD degree from Duke University. After his residency in Internal Medicine at Duke, Dr. McCrae completed his fellowship in Hematology/Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania. During this time, he did a postdoctoral research fellowship that initiated his interest in studying the biology behind antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), a clinical disorder characterized by blood clotting in both arteries and veins and recurrent fetal loss. Altogether, Dr. McCrae's research focuses not only on factors involved in blood biology but also on the cells that line blood vessels. His dual role as a physician and as a researcher gives him a unique perspective on how the biology of the blood and related systems influence human health and disease.
