He was well-trained for intravital imaging and microsurgeries in rodents, and established various inflammation and thrombosis models at the CTH-Mainz, Germany as well as Versiti-Blood Research Institute, USA. His research interest is focused on translational aspects of vascular inflammation, coagulation biology, receptor cooperativity, and immunothrombosis, in particular in the context of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and Protease-activated receptors (PARs) and its sequels, such as sepsis, stroke, organ failure. Also, testing novel small molecules to reduce hyper-inflammation and -coagulation states during those diseases.
