His research examines the interface between platelets, vascular biology, and immune cells, focusing on platelet roles in thrombosis, inflammation, and immune regulation. Using advanced mouse models, his lab investigates platelet-derived mediators like β2M and PF4 in diseases such as malaria, stroke, and myocardial infarction.
Article trends highlight platelets' dual roles in thrombosis and immune modulation, with recurring themes in vascular inflammation, ERK5 signaling, and age-related immune dysfunction.
