Alumni News

  • Working at Pfizer, a pharmaceutical company. Previously she was an Instructor in Medicine and a Postdoc at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. “I investigated early events during thrombus formation using in vivo models of mouse microvascular injury. I have characterized the role of protein disulfide isomerase during thrombus formation in vivo and identified extracellular PDI as a tractable drug target for anticoagulant therapy.”
