Our group employs a multidisciplinary approach <\/span><\/span>(biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, immunology, cutting-edge microscopy and animal models)<\/span><\/em> to investigate how stem cells<\/a> turn into a unique blood cell, the Platelet<\/a>, and how altered platelet function contributes to human disease. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Platelets are small anucleate blood cells that are best known for their ability to help us stop bleeding <\/span><\/span>(hemostasis)<\/span><\/em>\u00a0when we are injured. Platelets drive the formation of a hemostatic plug through a complex process involving G-protein coupled receptors, calcium-mediated signaling, cytoskeletal remodeling, integrin-mediated adhesion, and apoptosis. Dysregulation of these processes in platelets may contribute to the onset and progression of various bleeding disorders, thrombosis\u00a0<\/span><\/span>(heart attack, stroke, venous thromboembolism, COVID-19 associated thrombosis)<\/span><\/em>\u00a0and cancer.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
