Dr. Ducore is a specialist in Cancer and Blood Disorders in Children with a special interest in diseases of blood clotting and bleeding and non-malignant (non-cancerous) disorders of the blood (anemia, low white blod cells, etc). He is involved in clinical trials of the development of new drugs and therapies (including gene therapy) in the treatment of bleeding and clotting disorders.
Dr. Ducore's research involves the development of nre therapies, including gene therapy to treat bleeding and clotting disorders. He also studies the epidemiology of cancer and blood diseases in children and clotting disorders in adults.
