Professor at University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor. My lab does NIH-funded research on the biochemistry of blood clotting, with relevance to bleeding disorders and thrombosis.
And Josepha is presenting a poster on Tuesday (PB1316) reporting the discovery of a more extended substrate-binding exosite on tissue factor. It will also be featured in the moderated poster session on Tuesday morning.

Thanks! Josepha Sedzro in my group will be giving a talk at 3 PM on Thursday (OC 67) on a beautiful & fascinating cryo-EM structure of TF/FVIIa, the membrane-bound enzyme that triggers blood clotting. It reveals a new allosteric mechanism that regulates cell-surface clotting activity. Cool stuff!

And here is the word cloud from my years in research B.C. (before clotting: 1973-1985).

Now I really need to get back to work...

Beautiful!

Here’s one of a foggy dawn in Ann Arbor.

In support of World Thrombosis Day, I thought I'd share an "essay" my daughter wrote for me back when she was 9 years old. #WorldThrombosisDay (A repost from a while ago)
