Nancy Berliner, MD, last month was appointed chief of the Hematology Division in the Department of Medicine. In this role, she will oversee the division’s research, clinical and training programs.
“We are fortunate to have Dr. Berliner join us as a leader in the Department of Medicine, and I am confident that her skills and experience will have a welcomed and profoundly positive impact on our institution,” said Joseph Loscalzo, MD, PhD, chairman of the Department of Medicine.
Berliner will help train hematology/oncology fellows and housestaff, see patients in clinic and direct a research lab that examines the molecular basis of normal and abnormal white blood cell differentiation.
“I want to expand the clinical base and recruit new physician-scientists to the division,” Berliner said. “Under Dr. Robert Handin’s able leadership for the past 25 years, BWH has been a national leader in the field of hematology. I will work to maintain and expand that leadership in the years to come.”
Berliner brings to BWH extensive experience as a clinician, educator and scientist. She previously served as interim chief of Hematology at Yale-New Haven Hospital, and as professor of internal medicine and genetics at Yale University School of Medicine.
Berliner received her MD from Yale University Medical School, and completed her internship and residency in Internal Medicine at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. She completed her fellowship in hematology at Harvard Medical School and was BWH’s first female chief resident from 1985 to 1986.
Berliner begins in her new role full-time in January.
