Dr. Ni has had a long-term outstanding research program in Platelets and Thrombosis, investigating platelet physiology and immunology to develop new treatments for clotting disorders, alloimmune and autoimmune disorders; his particular focus in investigation of the adhesion molecules that are involved in clot formation. His research into autoimmune thrombocytopenia (ITP), fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT), as well as the role of fibrinogenindependent platelet aggregation in clotting are important contributions to medical science and transfusion medicine. He is utilizing these advances to develop new therapeutic strategies for such disorders.
