Hello, my name is Jordan Milner, MD, and I am a clinical assistant professor in the division of pediatric hematology oncology at the University of Florida College of Medicine Department of Pediatrics. I became interested in medicine because of the wonderful relationships that are built between physicians and patients and because the field of medicine is always evolving and advancing. I chose pediatric bone marrow transplant (BMT) because I care about patients and helping them face complex underlying diseases.
In medical school, I was a member of the Global Scholar Program at St. George's University School of Medicine for medical students who exhibit academic excellence. I completed my pediatric residency and chief year at Memorial University Medical Center in Savannah, GA, and went on to complete a fellowship in pediatric hematology/oncology at Maria Fareri Children's Hospital at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, NY.
I have a strong passion for stem cell transplantation and cellular therapies and have dedicated my research to stem cell graft manipulation and virus specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. At the Pediatric Blood & Marrow Transplantation and Cell Therapy Program, we are currently working to bring alpha/beta T cell and B cell depletion for allogeneic stem cell transplants to UF and look forward to opening several trials utilizing this graft manipulation.
I look forward to continuing to serve as an advocate, helping to improve the curative treatment options for sickle cell disease and bring them to the University of Florida.
I am so happy to be a part of a team of innovative experts at the University of Florida. I am a native Floridian and I love to be outside with my family, especially by the water. I enjoy dancing and travelling abroad.
As a pediatric BMT and cellular therapy physician, I often times become a part of the patient鈥檚 family and enjoy advocating for what鈥檚 medically best for them. I look forward to providing outstanding and compassionate care to patients and their families here at BOB体育.
