Bio

Dr. Brian Estevez is a postdoctoral fellow at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), specializing in pediatric hematology. With a Ph.D. in Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology from the University of Illinois at Chicago, he focuses on platelet function, gene therapy for hemophilia, and sickle cell disease.

Today, Dr. Estevez’s research focuses on platelet function and disorders, gene therapy for hemophilia, and sickle cell disease. He brings these areas to life by investigating molecular mechanisms, developing new therapeutic approaches, and exploring the effects of pharmacological agents. His work aims to improve treatments for blood disorders and contribute to the overall understanding of pediatric hematology. As part of the PENN-PORT Program, Dr. Estevez combines his research with teaching experiences at minority-serving institutions. He delivers guest lectures, mentors students, and leads workshops, all with the goal of fostering diversity in science and inspiring the next generation of researchers.

Dr. Estevez is committed to advancing pediatric hematology and supporting underrepresented students through his research and teaching, fostering an inclusive and collaborative environment at CHOP.
