Sven Olson

Sven Olson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) School of Medicine. He provides clinical care at Doernbecher Children's Hospital and the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute's Center for Health & Healing, specializing in hematologic diseases with emphasis on bleeding and clotting disorders.

His educational background includes a B.S. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2010), M.D. from the Medical College of Wisconsin (2014), Internal Medicine residency at OHSU (2017), and Hematology/Oncology fellowship at OHSU (2020).

Dr. Olson's research focuses on thrombosis mechanisms, particularly the Contact Activation System, with clinical interests spanning venous/arterial thrombosis, hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, and platelet disorders. His laboratory work investigates novel anticoagulant targets and device-related thrombosis.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2020-2024) reveals a strong focus on translational thrombosis research, with recurring themes in anticoagulant development, ECMO complications, cancer-associated thrombosis, and iron deficiency management. His work bridges basic science (microfluidics, antibody development) with clinical applications (dialysis, travel medicine, electronic consultations).

Professional recognition includes board certification in Internal Medicine (2017) and Hematology (2020). His affiliations span:

• American College of Physicians
• American Society of Hematology
• American Society of Clinical Oncology
• Hemostasis & Thrombosis Research Society

Dr. Olson actively participates in clinical research through multicenter trials (e.g., iron therapy studies) and leads laboratory investigations into coagulation pathways. His patient-centered approach is reflected in high satisfaction scores (4.9/5 from 43 ratings), with personal interests including outdoor activities and cooking with his family.
