Division of Hematology & Hematologic Malignancies
Welcome
The scientific focus of our division is the sudy of blood and bone marrow in both health and disease. Our physicians deliver expert care to patients with blood cancers - including leukemia and lymphoma - clotting disorders such as hemophilia, and iron metabolism conditions like hemochromatosis. Building on the legacy of Dr. Maxwell Wintrobe, a pioneer in hematology and founding leader of the University of Utah School of Medicine, we are proud to continue a long-standing tradition of excellence in research, clinical care, and education.

80 Years of Clinical Hematology
The year 2022 marked the 80th anniversary of the publication of Clinical Hematology by Dr. Maxwell M. Wintrobe, the first comprehensive textbook in the field. Dr. Wintrobe singlehandedly authored the first six editions, published between 1942 and 1967. Beginning with the seventh edition in 1974, additional editors were brought on, and in 1993, the title was officially changed to Wintrobe' s Clinical Hematology with the release of the ninth edition. To date, a total of 14 editions have been published. Dr. Wintrobe, who passed away in 1986, played a pivotal role in establishing hematology as a recognized subspecialty of internal medicine. The accompanying photo presents all editions of the textbook (shown chronologically from left to right), assembled by the authors, two of whom (JHW, PFB) were personally trained by and worked alongside Dr. Wintrobe.
