Claire Horgan is a Consultant Paediatric Haematologist at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital. She completed her undergraduate medical training at the University of Birmingham before spending time in Liverpool and Manchester for foundation training and paediatrics. She went on to complete haematology training in Birmingham before returning to Manchester to pursue a career in Bone Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapy. She completed a postgraduate MD in paediatric transplant and cellular therapy from the University of Manchester in 2024.

Claire’s career has been greatly influenced by Professor Wynn and the specialist expertise of the team in Manchester in transplant and stem cell gene therapy for metabolic disorders, as well as the use of cord blood for refractory leukaemia. She has developed her own specialist interest in these areas and published several peer-reviewed papers, as well as regularly presenting at international conferences. Alongside this, Claire established the European Bone Marrow Transplant (EBMT) trainee committee in 2020 and served as its inaugural chair until 2025. She now has active roles in both the EBMT Paediatric Diseases Working Party, where she leads the educational committee, and the EBMT Inborn Errors Working Party.
