Summary
I am a dedicated physician-scientist who is passionate about caring for patients with benign hematologic conditions. I have a clinical interest in patients with acquired and congenital bleeding disorders as well as patients with anemia. I conduct translational research in the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving inflammation-induced pathology in endothelial cells and blood vessels My current research focuses on evaluating the contribution of red blood cell and endothelial cell interactions in JAK2 V617F and CALR+ myeloproliferative neoplasm patients.

Research Summary

Role of endothelial biology in inflammation-mediated coagulation disorders; Mechanisms to treat and or prevent bleeding and thrombosis in patients with myeloproliferative disorders; Mechanisms to identify bleeding phenotype in patients with hemophilia; Role of endothelium in sickle cell pathogenesis

Teaching Summary

Clinical Summary

Hemophilia; Bleeding and Clotting Disorders; Iron Deficiency; Hemochromatosis; Heminglobinopathies, including Sickle Cell Disease; Myeloproliferative Neoplasms; Erythrocytosis; Thrombocytosis; Thrombocytopenia
