Stefan Octavian Ciurea MD

Stefan O Ciurea is M.D., Associate Professor, Department of Stem Cell Transplantation, Division of Cancer Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX. His research interest is Mismatched related donors are a potential source of stem cells for virtually all patients who lack a matched sibling or unrelated donor. Expanding the use of stem cells from mismatched relatives by identifying barriers against successful transplantation, optimizing conditioning regimens, separating the graft-versus-tumor effect from graft-versus-host disease and incorporating novel strategies to enhance anti-tumor immunity, like the use of cellular therapy, represents a priority of my research.
