Biography

Martin H. Steinberg, MD, is a hematologist and internist with a clinical research focus on disorders of red blood cells, specifically emphasizing sickle cell disease. He has published over 450 articles and authored 3 textbooks on the clinical features of sickle cell disease and related disorders. Dr. Steinberg's academic journey includes a Bachelor of Arts degree from Cornell University and a Doctor of Medicine from Tufts University School of Medicine. He completed his post-graduate training in New York and Boston. His research involves basic and translational studies aimed at understanding the pathophysiology and genetic basis of sickle cell disease. Notably, he has modeled hemoglobin F concentration in red blood cells, demonstrating that patients with high HbF levels may benefit significantly from therapies designed to induce HbF. Dr. Steinberg has also identified cis- and trans-acting elements that explain high HbF levels in Saudi patients. These efforts are part of a broader investigation into the genetic determinants of sickle cell disease heterogeneity, including disease severity and associated genetic factors. Dr. Steinberg is a champion for diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare, advocating for equal treatment opportunities for all individuals.
