Dr. Johnsen is a physician scientist specializing in classical hematology with a focus on von Willebrand disease, hemophilia, and blood group genetics. Her research program aims to improve diagnosis and care of patients with blood disorders through advancement of our understanding of the underlying biology. She leverages new technologies including targeted and whole genome next generation DNA sequencing, multi-omics, and long-read sequencing to study the genetics of clotting factors and blood groups, with particular emphasis on how bleeding uniquely impacts females.
Analysis of Dr. Johnsen's recent publications reveals a strong focus on von Willebrand disease genetics, hemophilia research, and blood group antigen studies. Her work spans basic science investigations of coagulation factor biology to clinical studies examining diagnosis and treatment approaches. A consistent theme is the application of genomic technologies to understand bleeding disorders across diverse populations.
Professional Activities:
- Active participant in the My Life, Our Future hemophilia genotyping initiative
- Contributor to NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project and TOPMed Program
- Regular presenter at hematology conferences including ISTH and ASH
