Tessa J. Barrett, PhD, serves as Assistant Professor in both the Department of Medicine and Department of Pathology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York University. Her research bridges cardiovascular pathology, hematology, and immunology with a focus on platelet dysfunction in atherosclerosis and thrombosis.
Her educational background includes:
- PhD from University of Sydney
- Postdoctoral Training in Atherosclerosis at New York University School of Medicine
Dr. Barrett's research investigates how platelet biology intersects with inflammatory pathways in cardiovascular diseases. Key interests include myeloid cell-platelet interactions in atherosclerosis, thrombotic mechanisms in peripheral artery disease, and sex-specific platelet responses in myocardial infarction. Her work frequently examines how viral infections like COVID-19 alter megakaryocyte function and platelet reactivity, contributing to thrombotic complications.
Analysis of her 2024-2025 publications reveals consistent emphasis on platelet biomarkers for cardiovascular risk prediction, with growing attention to sex disparities (particularly in myocardial infarction) and molecular regulators like tetraspanin CD37. Recent work increasingly integrates clinical data from peripheral artery disease patients with molecular phenotyping.
No specific scientific awards are documented in the provided materials.
While no current advisees are listed, Dr. Barrett collaborates extensively with vascular medicine specialists (e.g., Berger, Heffron) and basic scientists (e.g., Schlamp, Sowa) across NYU's cardiovascular research ecosystem. Her work appears supported by institutional resources at NYU Langone Health, though specific grant details aren't provided. She maintains an active laboratory investigating platelet genomics and megakaryocyte biology in disease contexts.
