    Biography

    Emi H. Caywood, MD is the Director of Transplant and Cellular Therapy of the Moseley Foundation Institute for Cancer and Blood Disorders and the Principal Investigator of the Nemours NCI Community Oncology Research Program. She is an Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at Thomas Jefferson University. Dr. Caywood received her Bachelor of Arts in Biology at Cornell University and her medical doctoral degree at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, now Rutgers Medical School. She did her pediatric residency at Georgetown University and her post-doctoral training in The Johns Hopkins/National Cancer Institute combined fellowship program. Dr. Caywood is a pediatric hematologist oncologist and has specialized in the field of transplant and cellular therapy. In this field, she has dedicated herself to improving outcomes for patients with cancer and blood disorders. Namely her work has focused on reduced intensity preparative therapy plans, improve diagnostics, and alternative donor transplant to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with hematopoetic stem cell transplant and make this therapy more widely available, even for those patients without a matched donor. Additionally, Dr. Caywood leads the Nemours NCI Community Oncology Research Program (Nemours-NCORP) and has the responsibility of developing this NCI community site spanning 5 pediatric oncology sites in Delaware and Florida to improve access to clinical trials focused on cancer prevention, screening, supportive care, symptom management, surveillance, health-related quality of life, and cancer care delivery. Additionally, she directs clinical oncology and transplant research at Nemours Childrens' Hospital Delaware as the Institutional Principal Investigator for the Children's Oncology Group (COG), Pediatric Immunodeficiency Transplant Consortium (PIDTC), Pediatric Transplant and Cellular Therapy Consortium (PTCTC), North American Pediatric Aplastic Anemia Consortium (NAPAAC), and Sickle Cell Transplant, Advocacy, and Research Consortium (STAR). Dr. Caywood's research goals include improving outcomes for all children affected by cancer and blood disorders by enhancing the understanding of the biologic basis of these diseases, improving therapies, studying curative strategies, and the delivery of such cures from the laboratory to the bedside.
