Alison Nair, MD

Alison Baker Nair, MD is an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California, San Francisco. Her translational research program focuses on platelet-endothelial interactions in the setting of pediatric critical illness and how these interactions are altered by transfusion and other cellular therapies. She received her undergraduate degree from Grinnell College and her MD from the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Medicine. She completed residency in pediatrics and fellowship in pediatric critical care medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. With support through the NIH’s Pediatric Critical Care and Trauma Scientist Development Program and the Thrasher Research Foundation, she is advancing pediatric-specific diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to hemostatic dysfunction to improve care of critically ill children.
