Had a great day visiting CBR yesterday. Such an awesome multidisciplinary group doing great work on #transfusionmedicine problems. Thanks for hosting me Jay Kizhakkedathu Lab !

Hello from sunny San Diego! Come see our poster on #platelet product manufacturing at #ASH2024 Philip Spinella, MD

Another poster tonight at #ASH2024 looking at effect of lyophilized synthetic platelets on #bleeding. Will be presented by rockstar trainee Zeyu Liu, now a David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA M1. Great collaboration with Anirban Sen Gupta Haima Therapeutics. Come stop by! Matthew D. Neal, MD Philip Spinella, MD Pitt Trauma & Transfusion Medicine Research Center

Less than 2% of NIH funding is dedicated to trauma, despite it being a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. We need more dedicated funding and trauma surgeons engaged in research! pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC70…

Cool summary of our recent JTH paper in Labroots www-labroots-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.labroo…. Awesome work by Elizabeth Andraska and Frederik Denorme shows red light decreases platelet activation and #thrombosis in mice.

So proud of Katelin Rahn - she is a first year Pitt Bioengineering PhD student in my lab and was awarded an U.S. National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship this cycle. Pure joy to advise this rising star 💫 and can’t think of a better place to do the science! Pitt Surgery Pitt Trauma & Transfusion Medicine Research Center Matthew D. Neal, MD

New pub!🥳 Emily Mihalko We designed a #microfluidic model of vessel transection that quantifies blood loss. Key finding: in ex vivo #transfusion, #coldplatelets retain function & show promise in coagulopathy settings where RT platelets fall short. bit.ly/438DwCr

We’ve arrived at my favorite THOR_Network #THOR2025 session - platelets! The brilliant Paul Vulliamy presenting on trauma-induced platelet dysfunction and its transfusion indications/implications 👏

What a successful #SurgeryResearchDay2025! Fantastic Guest Lecture and incredible energy seeing all the research posters, presentations, and active engagement. Huge thanks to the organizing committee lead by #ChristineLeeper and everyone who participated! University of Pittsburgh PittResearch

Grateful to THOR_Network for the opportunity to present our work Ohio State Wexner Medical Center Surgery Dept. on sex dimorphisms in Src kinase - a possible mechanism for estrogen priming of P2Y receptors on platelets. Should we be thinking about platelet transfusion & antiplatelet therapy different by sex?
