REFLECTIVE STATEMENT RESEARCH PHILOSOPHY: “Abnormal blood clotting is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western World.” – American Heart Association My research goals are to understand biochemical and cellular mechanisms governing hemostasis and thrombosis. Briefly, exposure of cellular tissue factor to blood triggers a series of enzymatic reactions culminating in thrombin generation. Thrombin activates platelets and cleaves the plasma protein, fibrinogen, to fibrin, which polymerizes into a web-like mesh to reinforce the blood clot. Evidence from epidemiological and basic research studies suggests the quality of the blood clot determines its ability to support hemostasis or trigger thrombosis. Over the past twenty years, I have investigated multiple aspects of coagulation, including contributions from tissue factor activity, thrombin generation, platelet activation and fibrin formation. My studies have led to exciting findings on mechanisms contributing to stable and unstable clot formation. I have shown that elevated rates of thrombin generation, such as those seen in the thrombotic disorder hyperprothrombinemia, produce clots with dense networks of thin fibrin fibers, whereas deficiency in factors VIII or IX, proteins missing in patients with hemophilia, causes the formation of clots that are weak, poorly-formed, and highly susceptible to fibrinolysis. I have shown that cellular procoagulant (tissue factor) activity dictates fibrin network structure and stability as a function of distance from the cell surface. I have extended these studies to show that soluble and cellular effects on fibrin network formation shorten the time to vessel occlusion in in vivo models of thrombosis, suggesting abnormal fibrin structure and stability is a fundamental pathophysiological mechanism contributing to hemostatic and thrombotic disorders. Through these studies, I have accumulated a cutting-edge array of in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo technologies for investigating mechanisms in coagulopathy, with particular strengths in protein biochemistry, enzyme kinetics, cell biology, and microscopy. Using these coordinated approaches enables me to precisely control levels and types of plasma proteins and cells, and correlate enzyme activity (thrombin) and functional effect (clot formation) in vitro and in vivo. Together, my scientific findings and technical expertise have allowed me to assemble a strong research program that makes me poised to address novel, important questions on mechanisms leading to blood clot formation. ‘Now that you have the knowledge, what are you going to do with it?’ – Gertrude B. Elion, Nobel Laureate

Presently, and over the next five to ten years, I will investigate aspects of coagulation stemming from recent findings on cellular, biochemical, and biophysical mechanisms operant in coagulation. For example, I have shown that cellular tissue factor activity is a central mechanism dictating fibrin network density. Since certain cells release tissue factor in the form of cellular blebs (microparticles) in response to bacterial endotoxin, exposure to environmental pollution, and chemotherapy, I am investigating the role(s) of tissue factor-bearing microparticles and microparticle procoagulant activity in fibrin network formation, structure, and stability. Since cellular integrins bind fibrin, I am investigating how interactions between fibrin and specific integrin-expressing cells govern thrombus formation and resolution. Recent physical and mathematical studies have shown that blood flow (shear) has dual roles in clotting because it both replenishes procoagulant reactants and removes coagulation products from the site of clotting. I am therefore conducting studies to investigate the role(s) of blood flow in fibrin network formation, structure and stability in different vascular regions, and how these processes contribute to hemostatic and thrombotic clot formation. Since epidemiologic studies show abnormalities in plasma or cellular function, alone, do not cause thrombosis ipso facto, I am investigating how multiple “hits” from abnormalities in plasma, cells, and flow interact to promote thrombosis in vivo. I anticipate these studies will shed light on clinical challenges related to predicting bleeding and thrombotic risk in patient populations and understanding mechanisms leading to embolism following thrombus formation. To conduct these studies, I have initiated exciting collaborations with local, national and international scientists in multidisciplinary areas, including medicine, surgery, physics, mathematics, and computer science. These collaborations will enable me to undertake basic, clinical, and translational studies examining pathologic mechanisms operant in patients with hemophilia, sickle cell disease, dysfibrinogenemia, cancer, and other coagulopathies. These collaborations will also lead to the development of new tools for analyzing fibrin network characteristics in micrographs captured using confocal microscopy, and high-throughput analysis of clot biochemical and mechanical properties. Together, I anticipate these studies will elucidate coagulation mechanisms, and novel approaches to predict, identify, and treat bleeding and clotting disorders. In sum, my research program is built upon twenty years of experience studying mechanisms contributing to hemostasis and thrombosis. My scientific methodologies have demonstrated their utility as important tools for both basic and preclinical studies. Because abnormal blood clotting is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western World, my work has strong applicability to a broad spectrum of clinical presentations. I anticipate this strength will manifest as a diverse source of potential funding sources, including federal agencies (National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense), private foundations (American Heart Association, National Diabetes Foundation) and industry. Given these strengths, I am well-positioned to lead an innovative and dynamic research program, and look forward to a long and productive academic research career. TEACHING PHILOSOPHY:

1) Involve students in the excitement of discovery, lead them towards developing and testing new concepts, and teach them how to communicate results and ideas to the scientific and medical community

2) Excite and involve laypersons in scientific inquiry and the support of basic research, through conversation and formal and informal presentations.

My academic teaching efforts are divided into two main avenues: classroom teaching and mentoring and laboratory training of undergraduate and graduate students. I also have administrative roles in the Molecular and Cellular Pathology Ph.D. education program in the UNC School of Medicine. Classroom Teaching 1991 – 1996: While enrolled in my Ph.D. program, I taught two semesters (2 sections/semester, ~20 students/section) of Introductory Biology Laboratory for the UNC Biology program. This course was organized by Dr. Jean DeSaix. I prepared the laboratory, gave introductory lectures on scientific methods, ecological and evolutionary relationships, biological diversity, and animal dissection, and constructed and graded exams. I also taught individual lectures in an Advanced Molecular Biology Laboratory course directed by Dr. Darrel Stafford (UNC Dept of Biology). I instructed students in bacterial transformations and gave introductory lectures on molecular modeling of protein structures.

2008 – present: I Co-Direct Pathology 713 (Molecular and Cellular Pathophysiology of Disease: Mechanisms of Disease), a graduate course on cell injury and pathogenesis of disease with emphasis on basic mechanisms at the molecular, cellular and organismal levels. This course is offered in the fall semesters and dovetails with a laboratory course with a similar topic outline. The lecture portion enrolls 20 – 30 graduate students. Pathology 713 is team-taught, whereby my co-Director, Dr. Jonathon Homeister, and I coordinate members of the Pathology and Laboratory Medicine faculty and guest lecturers whom present information on histology and pathologic mechanisms of disease. The course content is derived from the leading pathology textbook and primary literature. Our objective is to provide graduate-level students with an exposure to histology and pathology and a foundation for conducting basic research in pathology. I teach three lectures on Hemostasis and Thrombosis in Pathology 713 that are quite well-received by students. I also design and grade exams on this lecture content. Prior to directing Pathology 713, I taught lectures on Hemostasis and Thrombosis in this course, as well as in its Spring-semester counterpart, Pathology 715 (Molecular and Cellular Pathophysiology of Disease: Systemic Pathology). Student evaluations of these lectures are included as supporting documents in my Teaching Portfolio. I Co-Direct CC34 Science of Medicine, a course designed to re-emphasize the basic sciences in the senior year of medical school. The ultimate goal of the course is to provide students with an opportunity to delve more deeply into the basic science of clinical problems than what was encountered in the third year clerkships, re-emphasize basic science from preclinical years and provide a foundation for evidence-based practice of clinical medicine. Mentoring and Laboratory Training of Undergraduate and Graduate Students Of all the teaching activities in which I engage, I have found the most gratification working with students one-on-one in the laboratory. I am currently training two Ph.D. students enrolled in the Molecular and Cellular Pathology Graduate Program. I also routinely mentor UNC undergraduates and non-UNC undergraduates through summer minority enrichment programs hosted by UNC-Chapel Hill. I see my support of the educational, scientific, and personal development of my trainees as the single most important commitment I have made as an academic researcher. I endeavor to create a supportive, caring, and productive environment for my trainees and laboratory personnel. I have an “always open-door” policy and I interact and discuss science and professional development with each trainee every day. I am continuously surprised to find that things I learn as a parent of two amazing children enlighten the way that I mentor my students, and vice-versa. Like my children, my students are unique individuals. Each student learns and asks questions in different ways. Each develops differently, with unique talents and interests. I strive to tailor my educational style to the learning needs of each student, to reinforce each student’s strengths and abilities, and to bolster each student’s self-confidence as they become independent and productive scientists. The pride I feel in watching my students succeed is that of a mentor, a colleague, and a friend. I have had the honor of seeing my first two graduate students defend their theses, choose post-doctoral positions, and leave my lab prepared to begin the next phase of their scientific careers. Several previous undergraduate students have also gone on to post-graduate scientific education following their work in my laboratory. These students have expressed tremendous enthusiasm for their training opportunities in my lab, and several have written letters describing their experiences in my lab. These letters are included as supporting documents in my Teaching Portfolio. I derive enormous satisfaction from having contributed to the futures of these talented individuals and am grateful for the opportunity to have influenced their lives so positively. In addition to students that I directly mentor, I have also served on dissertation committees for Ph.D. students in other Departments at UNC-Chapel Hill and other institutions. I find this activity immensely rewarding because it exposes me to students and research conducted somewhat outside of my primary focus, and enriches and broadens the educational and research experiences that I bring back to my lab. Administrative Activities in the Graduate Program In 2005 and 2006, I organized the Annual Research Symposium of the Program in Molecular and Cellular Pathology in the UNC School of Medicine. This event highlights work being conducted by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and reflects the diversity of ongoing research in our department. The afternoon begins with oral presentations by selected students and postdoctoral

fellows, and is followed by presentations from faculty members. Poster sessions featuring research of the students and postdoctoral fellows take place between and after the afternoon sessions. Awards are given for the best oral and poster presentations by a graduate student and postdoctoral fellow. 2006 – 2010: I served on and Chaired the Preliminary Exam Committee of the Molecular and Cellular Pathology Graduate Program in the UNC School of Medicine. The goal of this committee is to design exams to evaluate student comprehension of basic concepts in molecular and cellular pathology and histology. Students in the Ph.D. program are required to take this examination at the end of their second year of graduate study and must pass the exam within two attempts. 2008 – 2010: I was a member of both the Education Committee and the Executive Committee of the Molecular and Cellular Pathology Graduate Program in the UNC School of Medicine. These committees oversee the educational program designed for our graduate students and ensure its success as a program of excellence in the Graduate School at UNC-Chapel Hill. I am the Faculty Mentor for a student-run Marc J. Mass Memorial Lecture Seminar Series held in honor of Dr. Marc J. Mass, a former Ph.D. student in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. This event provides an annual opportunity for students to interact with outstanding members of the scientific community. Previous speakers include Drs. Patricia Steeg, Eric Olson, and Peter Libby.
