I direct a large, extramurally-funded research program, a division of the 2nd-largest blood donor collection/distribution program in the US, focused on blood safety and transfusion medicine: detection, natural history and pathogenesis of infectious/non-infectious diseases (e.g., HIV, HBV, HCV, parvo B19, Chagas' disease, dengue) and other complications (transfusion-related acute lung injury, TRALI; microchimerism).
