The Cancer and Blood Disease Institute (CBDI) at Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) and the Division of Hematology-Oncology within USC's Keck School of Medicine are seeking an internationally recognized leader to serve as Head of the Section of Transplantation and Cellular Therapy and hold the Endowed Chair in Transplantation and Cellular Therapy. This role involves overseeing clinical and research activities and expanding programs in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and cancer cell therapy. The candidate will conduct research and advance a leading program integrating laboratory and clinical science to develop innovative hematopoietic transplantation, gene, and cell therapies. The position includes membership at USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center and an academic appointment at USC Keck School of Medicine at the level of Associate Professor or Professor, commensurate with experience and training.

The CBDI's Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Program performs approximately 80-100 transplants annually for various pediatric disorders, including malignant, hematological, immunodeficiency, and genetic diseases, along with 20-40 CAR T-cell therapies each year. The program features a cell processing laboratory, a cGMP facility, and accreditation by FACT and NMDP.

The CBDI is the largest and top-ranked pediatric hematology-oncology program in the western U.S., ranked #7 by U.S. News & World Report (2021-2022). It has a robust clinical trials operation supporting hematology, oncology, and transplantation programs, with three international clinical trials consortia headquartered within the CBDI: TACL, NANT, and CHAT. The CBDI also participates in additional leading consortia, including PTCTC. Investigators conduct extensive bench-to-bedside research, with FY20 research funding totaling $59 million, including $17 million in new awards. The CBDI hosts an ACGME-accredited pediatric hematology-oncology fellowship and advanced subspecialty fellowships in Transplantation/Cellular Therapy, Coagulation, Neuro-Oncology, and AYA Oncology.
