Assistant Professor
Emory University, Georgia, United States
Cheryl Maier, MD, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and the medical director of the Special Coagulation Laboratory at Emory University. She completed her MD and PhD degrees at Yale School of Medicine, with a concentration in immunology, before coming to Emory for pathology residency and a clinical fellowship in transfusion medicine and coagulation. After clinical training Dr. Maier completed a 2-year post-doctoral research fellowship in transfusion medicine, investigating the immune response to transfused blood products, like red cells and platelets, and ways to mitigate unwanted alloresponses. In 2020 she joined Emory's faculty and secured extramural funding from NIH/NHLBI as the recipient of a K99/R00 career development award studying platelet immunology. Since the pandemic Dr. Maier has devoted significant effort to understanding the clotting abnormalities associated with COVID-19, including the development of blood hyperviscosity and immune dysregulation in critically ill patients and the pathologic consequences of altered blood rheology related to hyperfibrinogenemia. Future work in the clinical, translational and basic realms will continue to focus on thromboinflammation and the intersection of immunology with hemostasis and vascular biology.
