Assistant Professor
LSUHS-Shreveport
Shreveport, Louisiana, United States
I am Nirav Dhanesha, Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology at the LSUHS-Shreveport. I am pharmacologist with long-term research goals to elucidate the mechanistic basis for thrombo-inflammation and to develop safe and effective therapeutic strategies for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke and venous thromboembolism. I am engaged in active research for the past 14 years to develop expertise in the areas of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders. My lab applies a multidisciplinary approach in stroke and thrombosis research, combining data from human samples, in vitro assay and preclinical models of stroke, venous and arterial thrombosis. Current focus of the lab includes understanding of the mechanistic role of neutrophil integrin alpha9beta1 in the pathogenesis of venous thrombosis in the setting of stroke and obesity.
