Current Projects
SEM Standardization
This project is in collaboration with the Fibrinogen and FXIII SSC of the ISTH. Here we are working on standardizing the preparation and analysis of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of blood clots.
Main Techniques: SEM

This project involves trying to better understand how cancer affects the structural and mechanical properties of blood clots. This project is in collaboration with Prof. Martin Guthold and Prof. Greg Kucera.
Main Techniques: SEM, Confocal Microscopy, Turbidity & Lysis, AFM
Funding: Wake Forest University Collaborative Pilot Grant
