Ryan Jackson

Ryan Jackson, M.D., Ph.D., M.Eng. serves as Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Pathology at City of Hope, where he also co-directs the Stem Cell Processing Laboratory as Co-medical and Co-technical Director. Board-certified in anatomic and clinical pathology, blood banking/transfusion medicine, and hematopathology, his clinical expertise focuses on transfusion medicine and hematopoietic disorders.

Education:

• Doctor of Medicine (2015), Stanford University
• Doctor of Philosophy (2014), Stanford University
• Residency: Anatomic and Clinical Pathology (2015-2019), Stanford University School of Medicine
• Fellowship: Transfusion Medicine (2019-2020), Stanford University
• Fellowship: Hematopathology (2020-2022), City of Hope

Dr. Jackson's research integrates optical coherence tomography (OCT) for laryngeal/oral pathology imaging with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation outcomes. His work spans diagnostic innovation in vocal fold disorders, transfusion medicine safety during pandemics, and age-related hematopoietic changes. Current investigations focus on stem cell processing optimization and normocellularity standards in bone marrow pathology, reflecting his dual expertise in laboratory medicine and clinical hematology.

His 14 publications since 2005 demonstrate sustained contributions to laryngeal imaging technology and transplantation medicine, with recent high-impact work on age-dependent normocellularity (2023) and Ph-like ALL outcomes (2021). The research portfolio reveals strong collaboration with surgical teams for OCT integration and translational applications in hematopathology.
