CBR Virtual Summer Seminar Series

August 18, 2021 - 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Dr. Hugh Kim, Associate Professor, Faculty of Dentistry
Associate Member, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
PI, Centre for Blood Research

Topic: “The actin cytoskeleton and pro-inflammatory platelet function”

Presented by:Enoli De Silva, Ph.D. Candidate, Dr. Manoj Paul, Postdoctoral Fellow, Dr. Kalyan Golla, Postdoctoral Fellow

Platelet function is largely regulated by the actin cytoskeleton, which is continuously remodeled and forms the structural backbone of the cell. Our group’s research is focused on uncovering the molecular mechanisms by which the actin cytoskeleton (and its associated regulatory proteins) modulate platelet activation, secretion and survival.
