What do you attribute your success to?
Hard work, personal values, training, mentorship and the right opportunities.
Areas of research
I am interested in studying thrombotic disorders such as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and heparin induced thrombocytopenia, especially the role of plasma exchange for the treatment of these disorders. I am also interested in studying novel peripheral blood stem cell mobilization agents and understanding the factors that contribute to a successful mobilization.
