Area of Expertise
Hemostasis and Thrombosis, Biomarker development and validation, Clinical Proteomics, Monocyte/macrophage Biology
Interest and Subspecialty
There are four research areas in Dr. Wu’s laboratory
a) Basic Biology of thrombosis, hemostasis, and vascular biology
c) Clinical Application of Plasma Microparticles (MPs): MPs are cell vesicles/fragments derived from activated/injured/necrotic/cancer cells. Major goal is to discover the biomarkers for evaluating disease process, for early diagnosis and for prediction of diseases.
d) Mononuclear Phagocytes: Goal is to apply proteomics to understand the biology of monocyte to macrophage differentiation and to study the roles of macrophages in disease processes.
