Julia Warren

MD, PhD

Dr. Julia Warren is a pediatric hematologist at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. Her laboratory studies normal and malignant blood cell formation, with a special interest in how we form neutrophils – a critical infection fighting cell. These cells can be dangerously low in settings of chemotherapy, bone marrow transplant, or the rare genetic disorder severe congenital neutropenia. Understanding better how we form neutrophils or how that process fails can help us find new therapeutic targets for patients with life-threatening neutropenia. Clinically, Dr. Warren sees patients in the Comprehensive Bone Marrow Failure Center and attends on the inpatient hematology service. When she is not in the lab, you can find her out on a hike or in the garden with her husband and dog, playing music, cooking, or tending to her flock of chickens.
