Dr. Steiner is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Hematology-Oncology and Blood and Marrow Transplantation as well as the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care. She attends on the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology service and the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

Dr. Steiner received her M.S. degree in Genetics at the University of Minnesota in 1978 before earning her M.D. there in 1982. She remained at the University of Minnesota, completing her internship and residency in Pediatrics in 1985 and then both Hematology-Oncology and Critical Care post-doctoral fellowships in 1989. She moved to West Virginia University in 1990 with her husband, a native of the state. At WVU, she started a pediatric bone marrow transplant program. She also served as pediatric critical chair division chair and PICU director, and started a PICU fellowship. She returned to the University of Minnesota in 1997.

Dr. Steiner's academic appointment is in the Clinical Educator track. She serves on the Residency Selection Committee, Residency Education Committee, and Residency Review Committee. She is an advisor to multiple medical students, residents and fellows and has mentored several in their clinical research projects.

She serves on several additional hospital committees, including Pain Management, Infection Control and Transfusion (co-chair).

Dr. Steiner's clinical research is focused on "coaguloinflammatory pathophysiology." In collaboration with Dr. Nigel Key, formerly in the Department of Medicine, now Harold Roberts Chair of Hematology, University of North Carolina, several studies are in development to investigate aberrations of coagulation leading to bleeding and/or thrombosis in cancer patients and bone marrow transplant patients. Through the Transfusion Medicine and Hemostasis Clinical Trials Network, she and Dr. Key are also developing a protocol to study use of recombinant Factor VIIa in the control of intractable bleeding after cardiopulmonary bypass. Dr. Steiner has participated in the publication of over 30 articles, teaching manuals and book chapters. She is a member of several professional societies, including American Society of Hematology, American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis, International Academy of Clinical and Applied Thrombosis and Hemostasis and Society of Critical Care Medicine
