I have been committed to building a strong translational research program to address novel challenges and questions related to blood and renal pathophysiology in rodents and humans. My work provided strong pre-clinical evidence that endothelin system significantly contributes to sickle cell renal pathophysiology. My collaborative efforts with Dr. Lebensburger identified...

My research program is focused on identifying the bidirectional relationship between hemostatic system components and cardiometabolic diseases. Obesity (defined as body mass index >30) currently affects >650 billion adults and >340 million children worldwide. Obesity is characterized by a state of chronic low-grade inflammation and induces qualitative and quantitative changes...

Areas of Interest: My research focuses on understanding how iron concentration shifts gene expression through modulating RNA-binding protein interactions with their RNA targets. I am interested in pursuing this question through multiomic, computational, and biochemical approaches, ultimately providing insight into the fundamental RNA biology related to iron-deficiency anemia and other...

Research Interests:Being a physician in internal medicine encouraged me to focus on thrombosis as frequent complications of various disorders, especially patients with SARS-Cov-2, oncology, liver pathology, and systemic autoimmune disorders. Currently, my main interest in the hemostatic system is a contact activation of the coagulation cascade. I believe that the...

Research Interests: At the intersection of gene regulation and iron homeostasis are Poly (rC)-Binding Proteins (PCBPs). Thought to be the primary metallochaperone for iron in the cell, PCBPs are required for cell viability. However, the impact of iron-deficiency on global cellular gene regulation is lacking. Using biophysical, biochemical, and molecular...

Research Interests: As a hematologist, my research of interest is focusing on hemostasis/thrombosis and its relationship with red cell abnormalities, including sickle cell disease and trait, thalassemia and hemoglobinopathy, and other hemolytic anemias. I am also interested in alterations of coagulation and fibrinolytic systems in a wide range of hemostasis/thrombosis...

Research Interests My groups research is focused on identifying novel mechanisms responsible for pathological activation of coagulation and venous thromboembolism. Venous thromboembolism, including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a common cardiovascular disease that is a major source of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The mechanisms that drive pathological activation of...
