  • Biography

    Dr. Ann Dahlberg is a board-certified hematologist-oncologist who specialize in pediatric bone marrow transplantation. Dr. Dahlberg provides care for children with a variety of malignant and non-malignant diseases with a focus on patients who have leukemia.

    At Seattle Children’s, she also directs the Bone Marrow Transplantation Transition Clinic, which provides long-term follow-up care for children who have received a transplant to treat leukemia. She also is an assistant professor in the Clinical Research Division at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. 

    One of the most satisfying aspects of her career has been the ability to work closely with patients in the present while striving to improve the care provided in the future. As a clinical researcher, she studies cord blood transplantation. This form of transplant involves collecting blood-forming cells, known as stem cells, from the umbilical cord after a baby’s birth. These stem cells can be used in the treatment of leukemia and other life-threatening diseases. Another primary research interest is developing strategies to reduce the risk of leukemia relapse after a transplant.
