Results for Coagulation

Dr. Margaritis uses biochemical, molecular, and complex in vivo methodology within the field of coagulation to advance the understanding of molecular mechanisms involved in pro- and anti-coagulant reactions, and translate research for the treatment of coagulation defects.

Dr. Samelson-Jones is a pediatric hematologist dedicated to improving the lives of children with bleeding and clotting disorders. His research focuses on gene therapy for hemophilia, the biochemical basis of coagulation, and the immune responses to hemophilia therapies.

Dr. George's basic and clinical research interests are in the development of novel therapeutics for hemophilia. Her basic science laboratory studies the molecular basis of coagulation, and she is the principal investigator of ongoing hemophilia A and B gene therapy trials.

Dr. Kumar's research focuses on structure and function of proteins in blood coagulation. Using a coupled structural and biochemical approach, his lab studies molecular mechanisms underlying coagulation with a goal to understand how the tertiary structure determines the function of coagulation proteins

Dr. Camire's research focuses on understanding the components of the blood coagulation system, how they interface with activated cells, and how disturbances in their function lead to bleeding and thrombosis. He is also interested in developing novel therapeutic approaches (protein, gene-based, small molecule) to mitigate these events, which are major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide.

Dr. Krishnaswamy studies molecular mechanisms underlying the reactions of blood coagulation. His laboratory investigates how the proteins of blood coagulation interact with each other and with membranes to yield a regulated clotting response to vascular injury or an unregulated response in thrombotic or bleeding disease.

Dr. Lambert's research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of inherited and acquired thrombocytopenia in pediatric patients. Using clinical translational methods to link discovery in rare platelet disorders with optimizing next-generation sequencing for clinical practice, she has been involved in the Undiagnosed Disease Network Program and the Frontier Program in Immune Dysregulation, incorporating genetics of platelet disorders and immunohematology.

The research in the Sabatino Laboratory is focused on hemophilia, an inherited bleeding disorder. The interests of the laboratory include the study of variants of coagulation factor VIII to understand the biochemical properties of these proteins and to identify novel variants with enhanced function, and the development of gene-based therapeutic approaches for treating hemophilia.
