Research Interest: Platelet; Neutrophil; Thrombosis; Inflammation; Intravital microscopy

Research: The fundamental question that drives our research is, “How are thrombosis and inflammation intertwined?” Our current and future studies focus on understanding the mechanism mediating intravascular cell-cell interactions and vascular occlusion under thromboinflammatory conditions, including thrombosis, ischemia/reperfusion injury, and sickle cell disease.
