The overarching aim of the research conducted by my group is to develop and trial new treatments for platelet disorders and finding alternatives to platelet transfusion.
- This includes trials of reversing antiplatelet drugs in intracerebral haemorrhage
- Optimising treatment of fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT)
- Clinical trials in transfusion medicine and immunohaematology [thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), warm autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (wAIHA), cold agglutinin disease (CAD)]
- Developing the evidence base for platelet transfusion and alternatives to transfusion
