Thomas Kazmirchuk on AI-Generated Peptide Targeting Platelet-type von Willebrand Disease
Thomas Kazmirchuk, Associate Research Fellow at Queen’s University, shared on LinkedIn:
”I am absolutely thrilled to share that my study on how we designed, screened, validated, and confirmed peptides with therapeutic and diagnostic utility in Platelet-type von Willebrand disease that was accepted in Blood Advances is now available online as a first edition!
This work brought together many disciplines from biochemistry, AI, hematology, and others to address a critical need in PT VWD and bleeding disorders as a whole.
Thank you to Ashkan Golshani, Dr. Maha Othman MD MSc PhD for your endless support during this project.
I would also like to thank our collaborators in Dr. Gresele’s lab at the University of Perugia for their assistance.
And thank you to the expert reviewers and of course the editorial staff at the American Society of Hematology’s Blood Advances.
The future is bright for hematology, medicine, and those with bleeding disorders.”
