Aisha N. Hasan, MD: Transforming Pediatric Oncology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center

Innovative Research and Clinical Expertise Enhance Pediatric Cancer Treatments

A determined oncologist, Dr. Hasan is an attending physician and pediatric bone marrow transplant surgeon at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. With a remarkable blend of clinical expertise and groundbreaking research in T cell biology and adoptive cellular therapies, she has made significant contributions to pediatric oncology and enhanced treatment protocols for young patients battling cancer.

Before embarking on her professional journey, she received her medical degree from Topiwala National Medical College and is board-certified in pediatrics and pediatric hematology-oncology. Her leadership experience, having been selected as chief during both her residency at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University and her fellowship in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at New York Presbyterian Hospital (Cornell Campus), has equipped her with the skills to effectively lead large teams, troubleshoot complex challenges, and implement strategic solutions in clinical settings.

In addition to her clinical role, Dr. Hasan holds an impressive position as the Senior Director of Clinical Development in Interventional Oncology at Johnson & Johnson, where she has been instrumental in advancing innovative therapeutic strategies. Her extensive academic and clinical background includes pivotal work in phase 1 and 2 clinical trials that focus on the application of adoptive T cell therapies to combat cancer and infections. 

Her research emphasizes the expansion of haploidentical bone marrow transplantation, addressing the infectious complications associated with HLA mismatched transplants, and improving outcomes through donor-derived adoptive T cell therapies. This has led to the development of unique algorithms for selecting patients for T-cell therapy, based on inherited HLA polymorphisms, providing a personalized approach to treatment.
