Research

Overview

I am interested in clinical research in transfusion medicine and patient blood management. Two projects were finished in 2018-2019: clinical impact of activation status-based platelet allocation on platelet transfusion effectiveness in hematology-oncology patients and RBC alloimmunization risk analysis in multiple myeloma patients treated by Daratumumab. Our current project focuses on the treatment effects of convalescent plasma on coagulopathy in COVID19 patients.
