Divyaswathi Citla Sridhar

Dr. Divyaswathi Citla Sridhar is an Assistant Professor of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics. Her research focuses on bleeding disorders such as hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, and Glanzmann thrombasthenia, with a particular emphasis on bone health, menstrual bleeding management, sickle cell disease, and thrombosis. She also investigates the intersection of hematology with mental health and healthcare access, particularly in underserved populations.

Her studies employ large national database analyses and cohort studies to explore outcomes, risk factors, and healthcare utilization patterns. She has contributed to understanding vitamin D therapy in sickle cell disease, the burden of rare platelet disorders, and palliative care trends in malignant neoplasms. Her work bridges clinical practice and public health, addressing disparities in hemophilia treatment access and improving diagnostic approaches through case studies and systematic reviews.

Key areas of expertise include bone health in bleeding disorders, reproductive health needs in patients with bleeding disorders, and the impact of anticoagulants on menstrual bleeding. Her research also addresses emerging issues such as thrombotic microangiopathies and fungal infections in immunocompromised pediatric patients.
