About
Dr. Shavit received his medical and doctorate degrees from Northwestern University in 2000 after completing his undergraduate education at the University of Michigan. He returned to Ann Arbor in 2000 to complete his residency in pediatrics and a fellowship in pediatric hematology/oncology. Now an associate professor, Dr. Shavit specializes in hemophilia and other bleeding disorders, pediatric thrombotic disorders and thrombophilia. His research focuses on the genetics of these diseases, using mouse and zebrafish models. He is a member of the American Society of Hematology. He is board-certified in pediatric hematology/oncology.
Areas of Practice
Dr. Shavit specializes in the care of pediatric patients with hemophilia, von Willebrand disease and other bleeding disorders, as well as thrombotic disorders and thrombophilia.

Research Overview
Dr. Shavit studies the genetics of human blood clotting disorders (e.g. hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, and thrombosis) using zebrafish and mouse models in combination with genome editing tools, such as CRISPR. His laboratory is developing large scale zebrafish mutagenesis screens to identify genetic and chemical modifiers of these disorders. This will be followed by investigation of these modifiers in mouse models and human populations. See more at shavitlab.org
