Dr. Zia is a Professor of Pediatrics, the Associate Vice Chair of Clinical Research for the Department of Pediatrics, the Associate Division Chief of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology and the Director of the Hemostasis and Thrombosis Program at UT Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) and Children’s Health.

Dr. Zia received her Doctorate of Medicine from King Edward Medical University, Pakistan. She completed her residency, pediatric hematology-oncology fellowship, and subsequently, a Hemostasis-Thrombosis fellowship from Wayne State University, Michigan before joining UT Southwestern as faculty.

Dr. Zia’s clinical and research efforts have been successful through three new clinical multidisciplinary programs she has founded at UTSW: The Young Women’s Blood Disorders Program, The Pediatric Thrombosis and Venous Thromboembolism Outcomes Program, and the Pulmonary Embolism Response Team. These clinical programs are wedded to her independent clinical and translational research programs funded by NIH since 2015, investigating mechanisms and treatments of post-thrombotic syndromes.
