Platelet Physiology and Analysis of Their Inflammatory Response to Biostress

Unravelling blood platelets’ contribution to pathophysiological mechanisms related to exogenous (infectious) or endogenous (transfusion) biostress with a focus on circulation, pulmonary and cardiovascular systems.

Combination of ex vivo, in vitro, and in vivo approaches to decipher platelet thrombo-inflammatory responses involved in these mechanisms.

– Thrombo-inflammatory role of platelets in a transfusion context: Improvement and evaluation of platelet concentrate preparation processes to optimize transfusion efficiency and develop personalized transfusion.

– Optimal blood usage and Patient blood management program: aims to refine and update standards, improve database interoperability, develop new algorithms to provide decision-making software for transfusion services, in the prospect of personalized transfusion medicine.
