Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Shelley E. Crary is a Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) and Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH). She holds leadership positions as the Medical Director of the Arkansas Center for Bleeding Disorders and Director of Hematology at ACH. Dr. Crary also serves as Co-Director of the UAMS Clinical and Translational Science Pilot Program, focusing on advancing translational research and supporting career development for junior faculty and fellows.

Her research interests include the treatment of hematologic conditions in children, with recent publications addressing gene therapy for Hemophilia B, anticoagulant therapy for venous thromboembolism, and treatment practices for kaposiform hemangioendothelioma and vascular malformations. Dr. Crary also investigates pharmacokinetic properties of sclerotherapy agents and approaches to coagulopathy in patients with vascular anomalies. Her work has contributed to understanding long-term biological effects in sickle cell disease and defining pediatric refractory immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).

Dr. Crary is actively involved in medical education and mentorship, co-directing the UAMS Master’s in Clinical and Translational Sciences Scholarship Program and participating in the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Classical Hematology Mentorship Program. She earned her undergraduate degree from Washington University in St. Louis and her medical degree from Tulane University School of Medicine, followed by residency at Vanderbilt University and a fellowship at UT Southwestern Medical Center, where she also obtained a Master of Science in Clinical Science.
