John Hwa, MD, PhD, FRACP
Professor of Medicine (Cardiology); Co-Director Yale Cooperative Center of Excellence in Hematology, Cardiovascular Medicine
The Hwa lab studies how platelets respond to blood stressors (e.g. hyperglycemia, inflammation) and transduces the stressor (e.g. unfolded protein response) into a cellular response (e.g. activation). This response is then communicated to other platelets or other cells (e.g. T cells).
