Teaching Interests
My academic interest in teaching and research is focused in the area of blood coagulation and hemostasis. I have made significant contributions to the understanding of regulation of blood coagulation, gene regulation of coagulation factors and understanding structure function relationship of coagulation protein mutations. I also collaborate on the pharmacogenomics of inherited coagulation disorders.
I am a firm proponent of bench to bedside approach in medicine and have contributed to the education of physician scientists in the field.
