Jordan Milner, MD

Hello, my name is Jordan Milner, MD, and I am a clinical assistant professor in the division of pediatric hematology oncology at the University of Florida College of Medicine Department of Pediatrics. I became interested in medicine because of the wonderful relationships that are built between physicians and patients and because the field of medicine is always evolving and advancing. I chose pediatric bone marrow transplant (BMT) because I care about patients and helping them face complex underlying diseases.

In medical school, I was a member of the Global Scholar Program at St. George’s University School of Medicine for medical students who exhibit academic excellence. I completed my pediatric residency and chief year at Memorial University Medical Center in Savannah, GA, and went on to complete a fellowship in pediatric hematology/oncology at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, NY.

I have a strong passion for stem cell transplantation and cellular therapies and have dedicated my research to stem cell graft manipulation and virus specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. At the Pediatric Blood & Marrow Transplantation and Cell Therapy Program, we are currently working to bring alpha/beta T cell and B cell depletion for allogeneic stem cell transplants to UF and look forward to opening several trials utilizing this graft manipulation and others

I look forward to continuing to serve as an advocate, helping to improve the curative treatment options for sickle cell disease and bring them to the University of Florida.

I am so happy to be a part of a team of innovative experts at the University of Florida. I am a native Floridian and I love to be outside with my family, especially by the water. I enjoy dancing and travelling abroad.

As a pediatric BMT and cellular therapy physician, I often times become a part of the patient’s family and enjoy advocating for what’s medically best for them. I look forward to providing outstanding and compassionate care to patients and their families here at UF Health.

Dr. Milner’s research focus is graft manipulation. The utilization of graft manipulation permits decreased morbidities and improved quality of life in stem cell transplant recipients.
