Biography
Dr. Vande Vusse is a faculty member in the UW Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care. She provides critical care and pulmonary consultative services to hospitalized patients experiencing complications of cancer and cancer-related therapies. She also performs research on the potential role of blood transfusions in causing tissue damage that impairs quality of life and survival. Her current work aims to understand the role of blood transfusions in non-infectious lung complications of hematopoietic cell transplantation. Dr. Vande Vusse earned her bachelor’s degree in biology from Syracuse University. She then received her M.D. from Dartmouth Medical School, where she stayed for her residency in internal medicine and a year as chief medical resident. She came to the UW for her fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine, during which she completed an M.S. in clinical epidemiology. She joined the faculty immediately after fellowship. She is a member of the American Thoracic Society and is board certified in internal medicine and pulmonary medicine.
Research Interest
Clinical research in lung failure related to blood transfusions and clinical research in non-infectious lung complications of hematopoietic cell transplantation.
