”New insights into Von Willebrand disease thanks to research
The latest issue of the Dutch Journal of Hematology features an interview with Sophie Hordijk, PhD candidate at the Department of Hematology at Erasmus MC in Ruben Bierings’ research group.
Sophie recently published a study in the leading journal Blood, in which she and her colleagues identified a new cause of the hereditary bleeding disorder Von Willebrand disease type 1.
