Paul Armstrong: Honoured to Take the Lead at The Platelet Society
Paul Armstrong, Lecturer in Pharmacology at Queen Mary University of London, Chair – Executive Committee of The Platelet Society, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“I’m honoured to share that I’ve taken on the role of Chair of the The Platelet Society.
I want to pay tribute to Dr Amanda Unsworth, who has led the Society brilliantly over the past three years.
Her dedication and tireless work have strengthened our community, advanced platelet research, and left the Society in a fantastic position for what comes next.
Looking ahead, I want to highlight two of our priorities that are important to me.
First, supporting the development and training of our ‘early-career’ scientists, so they have the encouragement, opportunities and mentorship they deserve.
Second, raising awareness of the role platelets play in health and disease in order to help the wider public understand a field that touches so many lives.
What makes this Society particularly special is that nothing we do happens without the support of our generous, curious and incredibly collaborative community.
It is the work of our scientists, clinicians, trainees and patient advocates who work together to push the field forward.
I’m looking forward to the challenge ahead and to working with our community to grow the Society’s impact even further.”
