Grace E. Linder, MD
Pathologist
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.
About Me
- Director, Education Programs
- Assistant Director, Transfusion Medicine Service
I am board-certified in clinical pathology and specialize in blood banking and transfusion medicine. As a pathologist and transfusion medicine physician at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), I care for patients undergoing therapeutic apheresis procedures, including red cell exchange, plasma exchange, and extracorporeal photopheresis. I also perform apheresis collection procedures to obtain cells for cell therapy. These include stem cell (autologous and allogeneic), lymphocyte, and mononuclear cell collections for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. In addition, I assist in the oversight of and care for blood donors who donate whole blood and platelets at MSK’s blood donor room.

I was drawn to transfusion medicine because this field provides a unique combination of direct patient care and laboratory medicine. On the laboratory side, I help provide medical and operational management of the MSK Blood Bank and Cell Therapy Laboratory. My work in the blood bank aims to ensure that patients receive safe and appropriate blood transfusions. I work collaboratively with physicians and other care providers throughout MSK to help guide transfusion recommendations. I have special interest in pediatric transfusion medicine and transfusion care for those with complex transfusion needs, including patients with hemoglobinopathies, red cell and platelet alloimmunization, and hemolytic anemias.
I am dedicated to teaching and furthering knowledge of transfusion medicine. I greatly enjoy working with patients and their families to support understanding of transfusion therapies and apheresis procedures, and I am also passionate about working closely with clinical colleagues and trainees on educational efforts in clinical pathology and transfusion medicine.
A pathologist is a doctor who uses a microscope to make a diagnosis from cell and tissue samples. They analyze the samples to learn the cause and effects of a health condition.
