Biography

Nitya Bakshi specializes in pediatric hematology and oncology, particularly focused on the care of children and young adults with sickle cell disease. Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder primarily affecting individuals of African descent, characterized by the production of abnormal hemoglobin that causes red blood cells to become rigid and take on a sickle shape. This leads to blockages in blood flow, resulting in chronic pain, anemia, and other complications. Dr. Bakshi emphasizes the importance of personalized pain management strategies for patients with sickle cell disease to enhance their overall health and quality of life. Her research aims to understand chronic pain associated with this condition. She earned her medical degree from Christian Medical College in India and completed a Master's degree at the University of Pittsburgh.
