"Microparticles Bearing Tissue Factor in Sickle Cell Anemia"
Mentors: Nigel Key, M.D., Robert Hebbel, M.D.
Dr. Shet's overall research interest focuses on understanding the underlying
mechanisms of activation of the coagulation system in disease. Currently, he
is using sickle cell anemia as a model to study the cellular origin and biological
function of blood derived microparticles. His group has recently described
circulating tissue factor microparticles that are derived from endothelial
cells and monocytes. Their future studies will attempt to establish a relationship
between these microparticles and coagulation activation.
