Transfusion medicine, blood banking, coagulation, hemostasis, laboratory testing
Description:
I have several diverse research interests within the fields of Transfusion Medicine and Laboratory Hematology ranging from large clinical studies to translational research projects. Areas of current investigation include blood bank-based immunohematology where the properties of red blood cell alloantibodies in veteran populations are examined, particularly those factors influencing the duration of humoral response following alloimmunization. In addition, I am interested in studying the biochemical and immunologic effects of storage on platelet components in the blood bank.
