Basic and translational research into thrombosis, haemophilia and antitrypsin deficiency
General audience summary:
Blood must be able to flow to deliver nutrients and signals to cells throughout the body. When blood vessels rupture, clots must form quickly to limit bleeding, but overgrowth of clots can cause thrombosis. We study the structure of proteins that regulate blood clotting, and use these insights to devise therapies for disorders including haemophilia, heart attacks, stroke, and deep vein thrombosis.
