Description of Clinical Expertise
Pediatric benign hematologyDescription of Research Expertise
My research focuses on therapies that modify neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to improve their ability to capture pathogens including viruses and bacteria, while decreasing their ability to induce harm to host tissue. Such treatments may improve outcomes in conditions such as sepsis, sickle cell disease, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, and anti-phospholipid antibody syndromeSelected Publications
