At UNC-Chapel Hill, Dr. Wolfgang Bergmeier and his lab team are uncovering how platelet dysfunction affects bleeding and clotting in patients. Their research is shaping more effective transfusion strategies and new combination therapies to improve patient care.
Platelets are the body’s first responders. 🩸 By studying how platelets function in both health and disease, researchers are uncovering new approaches to treat complex conditions and save lives.
Hear from Dr. Wolfgang Bergmeier, professor in the UNC at Chapel Hill Department of Biochemistry Biophysics, on why platelet research is critical to advancing human health. This work is supported by collaborative efforts across Blood Research Center at UNC, UNC Research, and Prof. David S. Paul and Matt Vander Ploeg.
