She cares for children and young adults with brain and spinal cord tumors, and is the clinical oncology lead for the Retinoblastoma Program. She leads early phase clinical trials for children with brain tumors and serves as site Principal Investigator for the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-oncology Consortium (PNOC) and the Collaborative Network for Neuro-oncology Clinical Trials (CONNECT). Her clinical research focus is dedicated to bringing new therapies, including immunotherapies and precision medicine approaches, to young patients with difficult-to-treat central nervous system tumors. Dr. Crotty moderates Seattle Children’s weekly Brain Tumor Board, a platform for multidisciplinary review of patient cases offering tailored advice to providers and families on personalized treatment options and innovative clinical trials.
