๐ฉธ About the Research Project
The PhD project aims to better understand congenital bleeding disorders by studying hemostasisโa vital process that prevents excessive bleeding. The research will involve:
โ
Analyzing the role of different enzymes, proteins, and blood cells in clot formation
โ
Investigating how clot breakdown (plasmin generation) affects bleeding tendencies
โ
Recruiting patients and collecting clinical data on bleeding severity and quality of life
โ
Validating a novel hemostasis assay developed by Synapse Research Institute
The findings will help improve diagnostics and treatment strategies for patients with inherited bleeding disorders, ultimately enhancing their quality of life and survival outcomes.
