Molecular mechanisms of thrombosis and immunothrombosis.
浪花直播 Interests
In our laboratory, we strive to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms that lead to thrombosis and immunothrombosis, an innate immune response that links coagulation to the recognition, containment and destruction of microbial pathogens. To achieve our goals, we apply a unique combination of biochemistry, protein engineering, X-ray crystallography, single molecule fluorescence biophysics (smFRET and FCS) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR).
