Natalie Bavli

Natalie Bavli, M.D., serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center, where she is a member of the Division of Hematology and Oncology. She joined the faculty in 2021 after completing her hematology fellowship at the institution and specializes in classical hematology with expertise in bleeding/clotting disorders, women's health, and red blood cell/platelet pathologies.

Her educational background includes:

• Medical Degree: Tufts University School of Medicine
• Residency: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Harvard Medical School teaching hospital), Clinician Educator Track
• Fellowship: Hematology at UT Southwestern Medical Center

Dr. Bavli's research centers on classical hematology, particularly bleeding disorders (e.g., hemophilia, von Willebrand disease), thrombotic conditions (including TTP and HIT), and sex-specific hematological manifestations. She investigates sickle cell disease in pregnancy, platelet dysfunction, and novel therapeutics for coagulopathies, while actively innovating medical education curricula.

Analysis of her 15 publications (2011-2025) reveals a clinical research trajectory shifting from oncology-focused hematology (2011-2017 CLL/AML studies) to classical hematology (2020-2025), with dominant themes in pregnancy-related hematology, thrombotic microangiopathies, and sickle cell disease management. Her concurrent educational scholarship demonstrates commitment to pedagogical advancement.

Professional recognition includes:

• Gold Humanism Honor Society induction
• American Society of Hematology Medical Educators Institute selection
• Multiple institutional teaching awards

As Course Director for the first-year Hematopoietic System course and fourth-year Hematology Frontiers in Medicine elective, Dr. Bavli shapes medical education while serving on The Blood Project's Board of Advisors. Her clinical research likely involves institutional grants supporting hematology innovation, though specific funding details aren't public.

Dr. Bavli operates within UT Southwestern's Division of Hematology and Oncology, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across clinical, research, and educational domains to advance hematology care and training.
