Focus of research
My PhD project centers on unraveling the complex pathophysiology of transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), with a particular emphasis on the emerging concept of reverse TRALI and its underlying mechanisms. This work aims to advance our understanding of the intricate interplay between immune responses and vascular health in transfusion-related complications.
I have a particular interest in the biological and immunological aspects of blood and blood transfusion, in immune reactions involving immune cells, platelets, and the endothelium. My research focuses on understanding how these components interact during transfusion-related complications, with an emphasis on the immune and vascular mechanisms that drive adverse responses.
Prior to my current research, I contributed to investigations on fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT), further strengthening my knowledge in immunohematology. Broadly, I am fascinated by the intricate dynamics of transfusion science and the spectrum of immunological responses to blood and blood-derived products.
