Dr. James Daniel Ozeran is board certified in Pediatrics and Pediatric Hematology/Oncology by the American Board of Pediatrics. He joined Children’s in August 2005. Prior to joining Children’s medical staff, he was a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Pediatric Hematology & Oncology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA. During this time he received additional training through the Human and Molecular Development Training Program at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA.

His work has been published in several medical journals including Biochemistry and the American Journal of Medical Genetics. Dr. Ozeran is also an Assistant Clinical Professor in the UCSF-Fresno Department of Pediatrics.

A graduate of the University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine, Dr. Ozeran completed his internship and residency training in pediatrics at Los Angeles County Harbor-University of California Los Angeles Medical Center. He is fellowship trained in Pediatric Hematology and Oncology by the Mattel Children’s Hospital at the University of California, Los Angeles where his research focus was gene expression in the Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors. 

Dr. Ozeran also holds Master’s and Doctoral degrees in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; his dissertation reported on “Identification and Characterization of a PAPS Translocase from Rat Liver Golgi”.
