A special opportunity at #ISTH2025 to celebrate the power of scientific lineage - introducing Dan McViker to his “scientific grandchildren” in platelet research. Science is as much about innovation as it is about connection — across generations, disciplines, and borders.

Thankful for the opportunity to present at the at #HTRS2025 this week on how TLT-1 nucleates clot formation in the presence of low levels of #platelet agonist. This mechanism could open new avenues for therapeutic strategies in coagulation disorders.
