Dr. Tsewang Tashi joined the University of Utah faculty after completing his hematology/oncology fellowship in 2015, and is involved in research with Dr. Josef Prchal on high altitude genetic adaptation, hypoxia signaling and molecular genetics of myeloproliferative neoplasms. He received his medical degree from Chang Gung University, Taiwan, and completed his internal medicine residency both in Taiwan, and in the US from Creighton University Medical Center, Omaha, NE. His research and clinical interest lies in myeloid malignancies and currently sees patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms, including systemic mastocytosis. He established and currently leads the Mastocytosis Program at the Huntsman Cancer Hospital. Additionally, he also sees patients at the University of Utah's South Jordan Huntsman clinic and also serves veterans at the Salt Lake City VA Medical Center.
