Michele Lyne Donato, MD

Dr. Donato is a leader in the care of patients who need stem cell transplantation for cancerous and noncancerous diseases as well as those receiving immunotherapy. She was at the forefront of the development of photopheresis, a technique used to treat patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (a potential complication of bone marrow and stem cell transplantation in which cells from the donor attack tissues of the recipient). At John Theurer Cancer Center, she leads one of the region’s largest bone marrow and stem cell transplant programs and one of the world’s largest photopheresis centers.
