Douglas Graham, MD, PhD, a hematologist-oncologist specializing in pediatric leukemia, was named in Atlanta Magazine’s 2025 Atlanta 500 Most Powerful Leaders: Education & Healthcare list.
Dr. Graham serves as chief and William G. Woods, MD, Chair of the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, chief of the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology/BMT, and professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Emory University School of Medicine.
Dr. Graham’s laboratory at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Emory University focuses on studying tyrosine kinase signaling pathways in pediatric leukemia and brain cancer and developing novel therapeutics that inhibits cancer-promoting proteins such as MerTK.
“I am honored that the Atlanta Magazine has brought additional awareness and recognition to our team of physicians at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta,” Dr. Graham told Blood Cancers Today. “We strive to bring exceptional clinical care to children with cancer and hematological diseases and are thankful to patients and families who trust us with their care. While we are thankful for significant improvements in patient outcomes over the last few decades, we are dedicated to continuing to enhance treatment options and cure rates through cutting edge research such as cellular and gene therapy, precision medicine, and drugs that are more specifically targeted to drivers of disease.”
