Our lab studies how Weibel-Palade body, the specialized endothelial secretory granule containing plasma hemostatic glycoprotein von Willebrand factor (vWF), is formed, and how vWF release is regulated. Our goal is to develop novel therapies to modulate plasma vWF in conditions such as von Willebrand disease, a common bleeding disorder. In addition, our lab is investigating mechanisms of immunothrombosis in disorders such as antiphospholipid syndrome.
