Discovering genetic and biological determinants of bleeding and thrombosis our lab combines expertise in genomics, bioinformatics and molecular biology to uncover mechanisms underlying disorders such as von Willebrand disease and platelet dysfunction. We develop interactive genomic databases, investigate mutations like NBEAL2 and ETV6 and use CRISPR-modified mice to study hemostasis. Our goal is to translate these insights into novel therapies that improve quality of life for patients with bleeding and thrombotic disorders.

Research profile

Advancing therapies for MPS disorders, the Dickson Laboratory investigates lysosomal enzyme deficiencies that disrupt glycosaminoglycan metabolism and lead to severe neurological complications. Focused on cerebrospinal fluid delivery of recombinant enzymes, our research demonstrates widespread biodistribution and correction of lysosomal storage in MPS models. By integrating neuroimaging, neuropathology and immune response studies, we bridge bench-to-bedside efforts that include clinical trials aimed at transforming outcomes for patients with these devastating conditions.
