Research
Dr. Walsh directs the Hemophilia Program in the Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. His research focuses on gene therapy of blood diseases. Throughout his career he has had a particular interest in Fanconi anemia and his early work in this area culminated in the first clinical trial in which retroviral vectors were used for gene therapy of patients with Fanconi anemia group C. He is also actively developing gene therapies for hemophilia A and B.
