Research Interest

I am interested in the biochemistry of lipid-protein interactions and my research focuses on the structure-function relationships of plasma coagulants and anticoagulants. My main research project focuses on the anticoagulant Protein S. PS is a vitamin K-dependent plasma glycoprotein synthesized in the endothelium.
