Dr. Michael Harrison is Professor of Surgery and Pediatrics and the Director Emeritus of the Fetal Treatment Center at UCSF. He graduated cum laude from Yale University and magna cum laude from Harvard Medical School. He completed his surgical training at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and his pediatric surgery fellowship at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.
Dr. Harrison has a special interest in fetal surgery which he has pioneered with his colleagues at UCSF. Dr. Harrison studied the pathophysiology and natural history of a number of life-threatening fetal abnormalities including congenital diaphragmatic hernia, congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung, sacrococcygeal teratoma, urinary tract obstruction, and myelomeningocele. He has developed techniques for both in-utero open fetal surgery and endoscopic surgical repair of many fetal abnormalities. Dr. Harrison founded the UCSF Fetal Treatment Center where he and his team developed in-utero stem cell transplantation to treat immunodeficiencies, enzyme deficiencies, and hemoglobinopathies.
