Role of Protein Disulfide Isomerase in Prothrombin Activation

Per Dr. Schulman, the JGP enabled him to dedicate time to hemophilia research, and more importantly, demonstrated to his department that what he is doing is extremely important to external funding sources. Dr. Schulman has never been formally involved with a Hemophilia Treatment Center, however, his institution has an entire division of hemostasis and thrombosis with clinical and research activity. As a note in proof, I would like to add that the generous support of the NHF has also been instrumental in helping me to establish a viable career path as a physician-scientist focused on the biology and treatment of disorders of hemostasis. Recognition by the NHF with this award has helped me to secure additional protected time and institutional commitment to continue along this career path at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.  I wanted to thank the NHF again, the award has helped me to gain recognition and commitment from my home institution that I expect will eventually enable me to launch an independent career with a focus on bleeding disorders.
