Hematology Research

We focus our research on the primary areas of inherited thrombosis, factor deficiencies, bleeding and clotting deficiencies and autoimmune diseases.

We participate in the Immune and Inflammatory Research Group and serve as the principle director for Region 1 (consisting of 4 states) in the Hemophilia Cohort Study funded by the NCHB and the CDC. Current areas of research interest include focus on platelet dysfunction and production in immune thrombocytopenia and pathogenesis of autoimmune disease. We are funded to study the role of endothelial cells in neonatal coagulation and in clotting stoke disorders. Hematology is also part of the Molecular Medicine Core, which examines the genetic basis of childhood disease.
