Factor VIII

The Sabatino Lab is focused on the inherited bleeding disorder, hemophilia. Our research interests 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 treatment approaches.

Revealing new mechanistic insights into the multiple facets of why factor VIII inhibitors form as an immune response to protein replacement therapy to treat hemophilia A.
