Blood Coagulation | CHOP Research Institute

Dr. Kumar's research focuses on structure and function of proteins in blood coagulation. Using a coupled structural and biochemical approach, his lab studies molecular mechanisms underlying coagulation with a goal to understand how the tertiary structure determines the function of coagulation proteins

Krishnaswamy Laboratory

The Krishnaswamy Lab studies molecular mechanisms underlying the reactions of blood coagulation. The laboratory investigates how the proteins of blood coagulation interact with each other and with membranes to yield a regulated clotting response to vascular injury or an unregulated response in thrombotic or bleeding disease.

Camire Laboratory

The Camire Lab is interested in understanding the components of the blood coagulation system, how they interface with activated cells, and how disturbances in their function lead to bleeding and thrombosis.

“The problem with too much clotting is by far one of the most staggering medical issues in the Western world,” Dr. Krishnaswamy said. See what he and his colleagues are doing to combat this deadly disease.

Rodney M. Camire, PhD

Dr. Camire's research focuses on understanding the components of the blood coagulation system, how they interface with activated cells, and how disturbances in their function lead to bleeding and thrombosis. He is also interested in developing novel therapeutic approaches (protein, gene-based, small molecule) to mitigate these events, which are major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
