Research interests:

Our research focuses on the central role of recombinant FVIII-platelet interaction in Hemophilia A, exploring its effects in the context of the mechanobiology of blood clot formation, which influences hemostasis and shapes clinical outcomes. By investigating the mechanism underlying this interaction, we aim to improve the efficiency of Hemophilia A treatment.

Research projects:

• Master’s thesis: rFVIII - Platelet Interaction: Implications for Platelet Functionality and Hemophilia A Treatment under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Vogel at the Laboratory of Applied Mechanobiology, Feb 2022 - Aug 2023

• Research project: Differential binding of recombinant FVIII products to platelets under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Vogel at the Laboratory of Applied Mechanobiology, Sep 2022 - Feb 2023
