Every brilliant scientific experiment, like every great work of art, starts with an act of imagination. The important thing is to never stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of science.

Role

I am a Veterinarian with a PhD in Clinical and Experimental Oncology and Immunology. I am currently working as a Postdoctoral research fellow in the academic haemostasis research group, which is part of Irish Centre for Vascular Biology, School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences (PBS), Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI); funded by a research grant from the Irish Blood Transfusion Service (IBTS).

Research Interests

Investigating how the ABO blood group impacts major bleeding risk and thrombosis by influencing plasma Von Willebrand factor (VWF) biological functions and clearance and identifying the treatment strategies to improve clinical care for patients. Furthermore, I am also interested in delineating novel molecular interactions between the VWF and the cellular signalling mediators contributing to inflammation at the site of vascular injury. In addition to that, I have a keen interest in studying the molecular aspects of disease development/progression and identifying molecular pathways/markers which can be adopted into novel diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.
