معرفی
Jill M. Cholette, M.D., is a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics (Critical Care) at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. Her research focuses on thrombosis, hemostasis, and blood product utilization in critically ill pediatric patients, particularly those undergoing cardiac surgery or requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). She also investigates the role of inflammation in thrombotic disorders and develops anticoagulation strategies for postoperative care.
- Education:
- MD | University of Rochester School of Medicine/Dentistry (USA), 1999
- Residency & Fellowship | University of Rochester Medical Center
- Clinical Expertise:
- Pediatric Critical Care
- Pediatric Cardiology
Her research integrates pediatric hematology, critical care medicine, and cardiac surgery, with a particular emphasis on optimizing transfusion practices and understanding thrombosis mechanisms in neonates and infants. She leads multi-center trials like the PROTRACT Study and CRETE Protocol, aiming to standardize prophylaxis against catheter-associated thrombosis.
Dr. Cholette is an active scientific reviewer for journals such as The Annals of Thoracic Surgery and Thrombosis Research, and participates in networks like the International Pediatric Acute Lung Injury and Sepsis Network (PALISI) and the Pediatric Blood Research Network (BLOOD NET). Her extensive work has contributed to consensus guidelines on RBC transfusion practices in pediatric ICU settings.
- Key Scientific Awards:
- Therapeutics Specialty Award (2012)
