Michael Engel, MD, PhD, attended the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, TN. He completed his Pediatric residency training and subspecialty training in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.



Dr. Engel's clinical interests encompass hematologic and oncologic illness in children, adolescents and young adults, with an emphasis on hematologic malignancies including myeloid and lymphoid leukemias.


Dr. Engel is a past recipient of a National Young Investigator award from the American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, a Ruth Kirschstein fellowship from the National Cancer Institute, a young investigator award from Alex's Lemonade Stand Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation, and served as a Hyundai Hope on Wheels Foundation Scholar. His research is currently supported by a Research Scholar Award from the St. Baldrick's Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation, research grants from CureSearch and Hope Street Kids foundations and a K08 Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Health. In the clinical setting, Dr. Engel is the recipient of a prestigious PRC Top Performer Award for 100th percentile patient satisfaction.
