Student research project
Supervisors: Professor Alicia Jenkins, Professor Karlheinz Peter and Dr Michael Huang
Project summary
Platelets are key to blood clotting and their aggregation is linked to heart attacks and strokes. Aspirin and other anti-platelet drugs can be protective, though it has been suggested that people with diabetes have platelets that are more resistant to such drugs. Detailed functional studies of platelets in fresh blood from well-characterised adults with and without type 1 diabetes will be performed.
