About Me
Dr. Andolina is the Director of Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplantation and has experience in treating both Leukemias, as well as non-malignant conditions including aplastic anemia and Immunodeficiencies. He has a particular interest in bone marrow transplant for patients with sickle cell anemia. In addition, Dr. Andolina has an interest in the adolescent and young adult population; he also cares for young adults undergoing bone marrow transplantation.
The University of Rochester is a member of multiple cooperative groups for pediatric cancer and pediatric bone marrow transplantation, including the Children's Oncology Group (COG), the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Tissue Consortium (PBMTC), and the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC). Dr. Andolina is an investigator with each of these national groups and is the primary investigator for the PBMTC and PIDTC. He is on both the CML disease committee and also the cellular therapy committee of the COG. Together, we have over 75 clinical trials open and strive to have all front-line treatment studies open for our pediatric and young adult patients.
Please contact Dr. Andolina directly with any patient related or clinical related questions or concerns.

Dr. Andolina has a particular interest in Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplantation; Leukemia; Lymphoma; Neuroblastoma; Hematology, Oncology; Pediatric Hematology Oncology; Pediatric Oncology; Pediatric Cancer.
Dr. Andolina's research interests including improving bone marrow transplantation for children and young adults. He and colleagues have developed a clinical trial using haploidentical donors for bone marrow transplant, for those patients without fully matched sibling or matched unrelated donors. Haploidentical donors are "half matches," and almost all patients will have an available haploidentical donor, as all biological parents and half of full siblings will fall into this category.
Other research interests include evaluating reduced-intensity conditioning regimens for pediatric patients with malignant and non-malignant diseases, especially sickle cell anemia.
Dr. Andolina also performs laboratory research including the study of the gene expression profile of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells, specifically evaluating gene expression changes which may confer survival advantages post-allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Please contact Dr. Andolina directly with any patient related or clinical related questions or concerns.
