Research Area: Our research focuses on thrombosis and haemostasis, with a particular interest in improving the understanding of risk, clinical course and mechanisms of venous thrombosis and bleeding disorders such as haemophilia. The Thrombosis & Haemostasis Research Group is part of the Department of Medicine I, Clinical Division of Haemotology and Haemostaseology, and jointly affiliated with Comprehensive Cancer Center, Cardiovascular Cluster and the Comprehensive Center for Cardiovascular Medicine.

Research interests
My main research interest is in the clinical and translational aspects of venous thromboembolism (VTE, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism). Currently, my work is focused on risk assessment of bleeding in VTE and on identifying novel markers recurrence in patients with VTE. Especially important are patients with so-called unprovoked VTE, a disease entity with a currently unclear background and pathogenesis.
Techniques, methods & infrastructure
Data collection and analysis, including a broad spectrum of epidemiological and statistical techniques. Currently, I manage an academic study that actively recruites patients with acute VTE (~ 500 participants).
