My research is focused on the mechanism of platelet activation and inhibition with a special emphasis on thrombin receptors. The main project is about the novel physiological mechanism of platelet inhibition that we have recently discovered, the ‘Gradient dependent inhibition’. I am working on finding its detailed mechanism and pathophysiological relevance. Apart from these I am working on several other projects and involved in some side projects.

Main projects

• Gradient dependent inhibition of platelet GPCRs
• Role of platelet-derived coagulation factors in hemostasis & coagulation
• Study of affinity and interaction of thrombin to platelets

Teaching

• Cardiovascular biology: Thrombosis and platelets
• Medical systems physiology: Hemostatic mechanisms
• Coagulation and hemostasis: Regulation of platelet activation
