Results for Bleeding Disorders

The development of gene-based strategies for the treatment of bleeding and thrombotic diseases is at the heart of research by Dr. Arruda. Working collaboratively, Dr. Arruda and his colleagues have carried out early-phase clinical studies on adeno-associated viral vectors for the treatment of severe hemophilia B.

Dr. Lambert's research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of inherited and acquired thrombocytopenia in pediatric patients. Using clinical translational methods to link discovery in rare platelet disorders with optimizing next-generation sequencing for clinical practice, she has been involved in the Undiagnosed Disease Network Program and the Frontier Program in Immune Dysregulation, incorporating genetics of platelet disorders and immunohematology.

The research in the Sabatino Laboratory is focused on hemophilia, an inherited bleeding disorder. The interests of the laboratory include the study of variants of coagulation factor VIII to understand the biochemical properties of these proteins and to identify novel variants with enhanced function, and the development of gene-based therapeutic approaches for treating hemophilia.
