Research Overview

Dr. Stacy Croteau's primary clinical research focus investigates the impact of integration of individualized pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles for hemophilia patients on bleed rates, factor concentrate utilization, and health- and patient-reported outcomes. Her current projects include characterizing real-world use of factor concentrates and assessing the feasibility of routine integration of PK data into clinical hemophilia care. She serves as the overall PI and site PI for several hemophilia clinical research trials, both industry-sponsored and investigator-initiated. She has served as a clinical research and early career mentor for several individuals spanning nurse practitioners and the undergraduate, medical school, and fellowship trainee continuum.

 

Research Background

Dr. Stacy Croteau is a pediatric hematologist and clinical researcher at Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, where she specializes in bleeding and clotting disorders. She completed her undergraduate and medical education at Brown University and then pursued training in Pediatrics and Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at Boston Children's Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Dr. Croteau joined the Boston Bleeding Disorders Center as the associate director in 2014 and became the medical director in 2019. She enjoys clinical care of pediatric patients and leading research efforts to push the frontier of the quality and innovation in current standards of medical practice.

Dr. Croteau currently serves at the primary investigator for several industry-sponsored and investigator initiated clinical trials and as the national chair of the American Thrombosis Hemostasis Network (ATHN)/National Hemophilia Program Coordinating Center (NHPCC) Transition Working Group. She also serves on the American Society of Hematology's Scientific Committee for Hemostasis. Her primary areas of academic interest are early drug development, advancing an approach for rationally designed personalized-prophylaxis regimens in hemophilia, and quality improvement efforts targeting patient transition from pediatric to adult care.
