Aron Flagg

Dr. Aron Flagg is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Yale School of Medicine, specializing in pediatric hematology/oncology and bone marrow transplantation. He serves as the Outpatient Medical Director for Pediatric Hematology/Oncology/Bone Marrow Transplantation. His clinical expertise includes immune deficiencies, lymphoblastic leukemia, and infectious complications of transplants.

Education:

• MD: Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science (2005)
• BS in Computer Science: Carnegie Mellon University (2001)
• Residency/Chief Residency: Cleveland Clinic Children’s (2009)
• Fellowship: Pediatric Hematology/Oncology & Infectious Diseases, Cleveland Clinic (2013)

Research interests focus on optimizing outcomes in hematopoietic cell transplantation, particularly for sickle cell disease, and mitigating infectious/immunological complications. His work integrates clinical trials with translational studies in granulocytic disorders and endothelial complications post-transplant.

Recent publications emphasize evidence-based guidelines for histiocytic neoplasms, risk stratification for transplant complications, and genetic mechanisms of neutropenia. Research consistently bridges hematology, immunology, and infectious disease disciplines.

Dr. Flagg leads/co-leads 5 active clinical trials investigating novel therapies for sickle cell disease and pediatric cancers. He mentors trainees in the Yale Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Program and collaborates extensively with the Yale Cancer Center.
