Check our latest work! Two independent molecular approaches proved to be efficient in preventing the detrimental impact of a dominant-negative #VWF variant in vivo. First siRNA-based correction of #VWD in a mouse model @InsermU1176 @UniFerrara@JTHjournalpubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33047469
Congrats to Jean Marie Mwiza for earning a Ruth L. Kirschstein Predoctoral Fellowship for his project, "Determining the Platelet Signaling Pathway(s) Critical in Venous Thrombosis Pathogenesis"!
@KateyRayner@atvbahajournals@scheibech Thanks for you question Katey! You're right...there was a obvious gap in the field that prevented us from studying in vivo human plt function. Specifically, we were interested in testing a Par1-receptor inhibitor (which is lacking on mouse platelets).
Congrats to one of our intrepid undergraduate researchers, Gracie Clark, for her contributions to the invention of the "Pipette Pal"! Read more here: launchchapelhill.com/blog/2020/6/18…
Congrats Dave Paul - fantastic work! Interesting paper for those of you who want to measure the true hemostatic function of human platelet products. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/AT…
We are seeking a postdoctoral research fellow to conduct in vivo and in vitro studies aimed at a better understanding of how the function of megakaryocytes and platelets is controlled by small GTPases. bergmeierlab.web.unc.edu@scheibech
Congrats to Robert H Lee, Brinkhous Early Career Investigator Award winner at #VascularDiscovery20! His work involved a study that yields insights on DAPT safety in thrombocytopenia & the best use of platelet transfusion for bleeding reversal. spr.ly/6014170qI@UNC
