Biography

Taha Bat, M.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center and a member of its Division of Hematology and Oncology. He specializes in bone marrow failure syndromes, porphyria, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), aplastic anemia, and large granular lymphocytic (LGL) leukemia.

Dr. Bat earned his medical degree at Hacettepe University in Turkey and completed a residency in internal medicine at Western Reserve Health Education. He received advanced training in bone marrow syndromes through a fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and in hematology and oncology through a fellowship at the University at Buffalo/Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.

He joined the UT Southwestern faculty in 2020.

Dr. Bat's research interests include cytopenia, hemostasis, and thrombocytopenia, and his investigations have resulted in numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals.

Dr. Bat has actively championed awareness of bone marrow disorders both nationally and internationally. His contributions extend to his service within the American Society of Hematology.
