Clinical Haematology

The Department of Clinical Haematology is part of the School of Clinical Medicine in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.

Its publication record shows research strengths in clinical haematology, precision oncology and laboratory medicine. Work on ex vivo drug sensitivity platforms for leukaemia and solid tumours, and on the validation of haematology analysers and morphology systems, points to interests in personalised cancer therapy and diagnostic quality.

Further themes include HIV-associated malignancies, aplastic anaemia and patient-reported outcomes, with attention to chemotherapy outcomes in people living with HIV. The research is focused on South African patients and on evidence for cancer management in that setting.
