She will investigate the regulation platelet procoagulant response by Rap1 and Rho family small GTPases & will utilize novel in vivo imaging techniques, proteomics & functional platelet assays to establish the in vivo significance of Rap1 in platelet procoagulant response...3/3

Check our latest work! Two independent molecular approaches proved to be efficient in preventing the detrimental impact of a dominant-negative #VWF variant in vivo. First siRNA-based correction of #VWD in a mouse model @InsermU1176 @UniFerrara @JTHjournal https://t.co/YntvGqmWOO

@KateyRayner @atvbahajournals @scheibech Thanks for you question Katey! You're right...there was a obvious gap in the field that prevented us from studying in vivo human plt function. Specifically, we were interested in testing a Par1-receptor inhibitor (which is lacking on mouse platelets).

We are seeking a postdoctoral research fellow to conduct in vivo and in vitro studies aimed at a better understanding of how the function of megakaryocytes and platelets is controlled by small GTPases. https://t.co/MWSfnprP9p @scheibech
