Dr. Grant Rowe

Biography

Grant Rowe is an attending physician at Boston Children’s Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. His research focuses on unlocking new paradigms in normal blood development with the long-term aim of building models for childhood blood diseases. He has an interest in understanding how blood formation changes throughout the lifetime, highlighting that blood stem cells differ in their self-renewal and output of mature cells based on the developmental stage—embryo, newborn, child, and adult. By applying this understanding, he aims to illuminate the molecular regulation of blood formation as it is influenced by developmental timing and aging, thereby contributing to the knowledge base around blood diseases that are biased toward specific ages.
