Overview
Our lab is focused on research surrounding the immune response to factor VIII in patients with hemophilia A and on how the diversity of the B cell epitopes in the response influence effectiveness of treatment. We have on-going basic and translational studies focused on how factor VIII is initially seen by the immune system and how the B cell response develops over time. Current translational projects are addressing naïve and memory B cells in patients with hemophilia A receiving factor VIII therapy.
