    Dr. Matthew J. Flick, PhD is a Professor at the University of North Cartolina at Chapel Hill in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and the UNC Blood Reserach Center. The long-term goal of his research program is to identify and characterize novel mechanisms linking coagulation system factors to the progression of malignant, infectious, and inflammatory diseases. He has a long-standing interest in defining the functional relationships between hemostatic system components (e.g., prothrombin, fibrinogen, plasminogen) and the regulation of inflammation. Current projects in his research group center on undersatnding the controibution of the fibrinogen-plasminogen axis to pancreatic cancer, cancer-associated thrombosis, obesity and metabolic syndrome, S. aureus infection, and COVID-19. Recently, the Flick laboratory has initiated new projects focused on examining the impact of selectively reducing fibrinogen or employing nonpolymerizable fibrinogen variants on thrombosis.
