There are 2 ISTH OMICs SSC committee Chair posts available now, including 1 Reach-The-World Chair. Read more and apply here: survey.alchemer.com/s3/88536… @isth #ISTH2026
Our recent paper is the 1st EWAS (DNA methylome study) study of platelet reactivity traits with several novel findings. Open access here: thieme-connect.com/products/…
Available open access at Platelets, our recent review on 60 years of research into ancestry differences in platelets: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
Now online in Blood, the largest genetic study to date of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding, reveals 36 Risk Loci. Most loci are not related to coagulation/hemostasis and instead other biological processes: ashpublications.org/blood/ar…
There is a postdoc opening in March 2025 in my NIH Lab. Position can be located in either Boston/Framingham or D.C. area (Bethesda/NIH). Info an applying is here: training.nih.gov/jobs/pdr-04…

Following our discovery in humans for a role of GRK5 in platelets (cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/S0002…), glad to report platelet-specific knockout of Grk5 also modifies thrombin activation and thrombosis: rpthjournal.org/article/S247…
Our new article on factors influencing Platelet assays (e.g., blood draw time, time to test, age, sex, medications, technician, seasonality) and inter-assay correlation in >3,400 people is now online: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… @RPTHjournal @isth
Our new article in Platelets suggests associations between blood vessel diameter variation, subclinical vessel calcification and platelet function tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
