Our researchers have studied:
-Hemolysis-induced vascular injury in sickle cell disease
-Red blood cell adhesion in sickle cell disease
-The mechanisms by which proinflammatory lipids and high-density lipoproteins function to impair vasodilation in sickle cell disease
-Cysteinyl leukotrienes receptor inhibitors as a target for decreasing sickle cell disease-related morbidity
-Pain outcomes in human sickle cell disease
-Quality of life in children with sickle cell disease
