Current Research

 


My research is in the field of hemostasis and thrombosis. In particular, I am interested in molecular mechanisms and molecular pharmacology of platelet functions. Blood platelets play critical roles in the development and course of thrombotic diseases. My current project is invesitgating the role of phosphatidylinositol (3,4) bisphosphate in platelet functions. These studies are conducted using a variety of approaches including: functional responses of blood platelets, platelet biochemistry and cell biology, in vivo studies employing transgenic animal models. 

Current Courses, Activities, and Scholarly Interest

I teach pharmacology topics in Principles of drug action course and accross the integrated pharmacotherapy (IP) course sequence. My scholarly interest for teaching activities is incorporation of scientific principles in integrated patient care discussions throughout the IP courses.
