Assistant Professor, Pediatric Hematology Oncology
University of Miami Miller School of Medicine
As a pediatric hematologist-oncologist, Dr. Dhir treats children, adolescents, and young adults with sarcomas, as well as those with genetic cancer predispositions. Through her research, she is focused on identifying cancer in its earliest stages and utilizing precision medicine to provide better outcomes.
Dr. Aditi Dhir joined Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (SCCC) and the University of Miami Miller School Department of Pediatrics as a clinical assistant professor in the Division of Hematology/Oncology in 2020 and is the director of the pediatric Phase I research program at SCCC. She earned her medical degree from Lady Hardinge Medical College in New Delhi, India, in 2013. She continued her training with a pediatric residency at Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital in Ohio, followed by a pediatric hematology and oncology fellowship at Children’s of Alabama at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, completed in 2020.
Dr. Dhir is a peer reviewer for several journals, has published extensively, and has received numerous accolades for her work. Through the support of the 2022 Micah Batchelor Scholar Awards for Excellence in Children’s Health Research and the V foundation early career investigator award 2023, Dr. Dhir will lead investigations to potentiate response to immunotherapy in relapsed/refractory sarcomas. By employing strategies involving genetics, epigenetics, and immunotherapy, she hopes to develop translational research that will lead to new treatment paradigms to improve outcomes of children with malignancies and establish herself as an independent clinician-scientist in the field of pediatric oncology.
