Steven Wesley Pipe, M.D.
 
Faculty Appointment: Associate Professor, Department of Pediatrics and Communicable Diseases
 
Additional Titles: Medical Director, Pediatric Hemophilia and Coagulation Disorders Program
Cancer Center Member
Director, Pediatric Coagulation Disorders Program
Member, Medical and Scientific Advisory Council (MASAC) for the National Hemophilia Foundation
Fellowship Director, Pediatric Hematology and Oncology
 
Specialty: Pediatric Hematology/Oncology
 
Clinical Interests: Dr. Pipe's primary clinical interest is inherited and acquired bleeding and thrombotic disorders, including hemophilia, vol Willebrand disease, rare coagulation factor deficiencies and thrombophilias. He also manages complicated hemangiomas and vascular anomalies in infants and toddlers.
 
Research Interests: Dr. Pipe's research has focused on several aspects of the structure and function of coagulation factor VIII in an effort to generate a form of recombinant factor VIII with either increased specific activity or longer half-life. He has also investigated the factor VIII secretion pathway, characterizing some of the molecular interactions of factor VIII with protein shcaperones within the endoplasmic reticulum. Insights in this area have lead to interventions that improve the efficiency of factor VIII secretion and may have application to recombinant factor VIII manufacturing and hemophilia gene therapy applications.
