Yuriy Prokopenko, MD

Research Interests: Being a physician in internal medicine encouraged me to focus on thrombosis as frequent complications of various disorders, especially patients with SARS-Cov-2, oncology, liver pathology, and systemic autoimmune disorders. Currently, my main interest in the hemostatic system is a contact activation of the coagulation cascade. I believe that the intrinsic pathway plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of thrombosis, meanwhile being more challenging to investigate. This drives my scientific interest to focus on elaborating precise and relevant mechanisms of this system.
