Yves Pastore

Yves Pastore, MD, serves as an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Montreal, based at CHU Sainte-Justine in Montreal. A Swiss-trained pediatric hematologist-oncologist, he joined the institution in 2010 and holds key leadership positions:

• Co-director of the Sickle Cell Anemia Program
• Director of the Congenital Cytopenias and Aplasias Program
• Co-head of the Hematology-Oncology Department (with Dr. Michel Duval)

His clinical specialty focuses on serious non-oncological blood disorders in pediatric patients.

Dr. Pastore completed medical training and pediatric specialization in Switzerland, followed by hematology-oncology subspecialization at Texas Children's Cancer Center, Baylor College of Medicine. His research spans pediatric hematology with emphasis on sickle cell disease, inherited bone marrow failure syndromes, and immune thrombocytopenia. He actively collaborates with national/international consortia including CanHaem (where he serves as co-director), ITP-Consortium of North America, and Canadian Inherited Marrow Failure Registry, advancing hematology research within CHU Sainte-Justine's viral/immune/cancer diseases research axis.

His publication record shows concentrated research activity in 2015 focusing on inherited bone marrow failure syndromes using next-generation sequencing and clonal evolution analysis, building on earlier foundational work in hypoxia pathways (2006) and von Hippel-Lindau mutations (2003). This research integrates molecular genetics with clinical hematology to address rare blood disorders.

Dr. Pastore demonstrates strong commitment to medical education for patients, healthcare professionals, and resident trainees. His departmental leadership role encompasses clinical oversight and educational program development. Participation in multi-center studies on sickle cell disease and immune thrombocytopenia indicates involvement in collaborative research initiatives, though specific grant details aren't provided.

He maintains active research collaborations through CHU Sainte-Justine's Research Center and international networks including CanHaem and ITP-Consortium, focusing on multi-center clinical trials and registry-based investigations in pediatric hematology.
