Special Coagulation Fellow
Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA, Minnesota, United States

Jeremy Jacobs, MD, MHS is currently a fellow in Special Coagulation at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN (as of July 2023). He completed a Transfusion Medicine fellowship at the Yale School of Medicine and a Clinical Pathology residency at Vanderbilt University and Yale. He has been involved in various research projects focusing on patient blood management, hemolytic anemia, alloimmunization, and transfusion-transmitted and bloodborne diseases. Prior to post-graduate medical training, he triple-majored in Cellular & Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, and Mathematics at Tennessee Technological University. He then completed his Masters in Molecular Microbiology & Immunology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health where he investigated the role of climate change on the spread of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus, a tickborne virus, and its effects on vulnerable populations of Southern and Central Europe. While at Johns Hopkins, he worked at a free clinic in downtown Baltimore, helping to establish new laboratory tests for HIV and hepatitis C for patients without access to medical care. He then enrolled in medical school at East Tennessee State University Quillen College of Medicine where he pursued research on emerging bloodborne infectious diseases and their effects on populations without access to effective diagnostic tests or control measures. He was inducted into Alpha Omega Alpha, the medical honor society, and is passionate about research with over 70 peer-reviewed publications to date. His interests include hemolytic anemias, acquired coagulopathies, infectious disease, and transfusion medicine, particularly in the context of improving the safety of blood transfusions worldwide, and he is a member of the AABB transfusion-transmitted diseases committee. He also is interested in interpreting and implementing coagulation and immunohematology assays in clinical practice, and teaching these topics to medical students, residents, and fellows.
