Research Interests:
The investigative hematology laboratory is a highly collaborative enterprise which focuses on bringing cutting edge technology from the bench to the bedside. As part of this work we are broadly interested in cellular physiology, hematology and membrane biophysics. In particular, we are interested in the role of membrane domain reorganization associated with platelet activation; defining the cellular and signaling events associated with passage through the membrane phase transitions, and the role of membrane dynamics and raft microdomain in platelet activation.
Laboratory Personnel:
