Personal Interests
My personal research interest is to better prevent bleeding in patients with hemophilia. I think that bleeding happens in joints and muscles when the amount of factor medication in the body is too low to prevent bleeding when joints and muscles are stressed by physical activities. I am collaborating with our orthopedics department to better understand the physical stresses on joints and muscles during activities, so that we can better tailor factor medication dosing to prevent bleeding.

Research Interests for Patients
My primary research interest is hemophilia. My research goal is to eliminate breakthrough bleeding by better understanding the biomechanics of joint and muscle bleeding, and by better understanding what factor levels are needed to prevent breakthrough bleeding in specific situations.
