Felicity Hodder, MD
Director Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital
University of Western Australia 1976
Specialty: Clinical Research Pediatric Cancer

I am a physician (caring for children with cancer and blood diseases), mother, sister, daughter and friend. I have been fortunate to be able to move to Santa Barbara, CA to build a new pediatric hematology/oncology program, a great challenge for me. It is a privilege to work with such special children who have taught me much of life, courage and love.

Research/Medical Interests:

At a molecular level, I am avidly interested in endothelial cells and their role in hemostasis, or how things get stuck and traverse in the night. Clinically, I would love to be able to understand why some tumors that look the same under the microscope behave SO differently clinically (probably a molecular answer to this one, too.) or what role do neurohormones play in surviving cancer.
