Specialty Areas
Sickle Cell Disease and erythropoiesis
We are interested in the physical properties of red cells, especially from people with sickle cell disease, under ambient and hypoxic conditions. We are using microfluidic devices in collaboration with colleagues at UNC and at CWRU to study red cells and to associate these findings with clinical phenotypes, before and after treatment.
We are also part of a sickle cell disease registry, in order to capture data prospectively and pool resources with over 8 other institutions nationally.
