    Tomasz W. Kaminski, Pharm.D., Postdoctoral Associate, Department of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh, PA, USA
    Tomasz's research focuses on the innate immune mechanisms in platelets and neutrophils as well as thrombo-inflammation pathophysiology. He uses cutting-edge intravital microscopy techniques to image in real-time the interplay between neutrophils and platelets during the initial stages of immune system activation. His work has authentic interdisciplinary nature since he studies cross-talk between cells in hemophilic arthropathy, sickle cell disease, influenza virus infection and liver disease. Until now, he proved that neutrophil activation is a key player in the hemophilic arthropathy progression, that thrombo-inflammation promotes cigarette smoke-induced flu severity, and that liver to lung microemboli NETs promote Gasdermin-D-dependent inflammatory lung injury in Sickle Cell Disease. Tomasz has been appreciated with multiple awards from national and international societies and institutions as well as his research activities are supported by numerous extramural funding sources.
    In his scientific and personal life, he proudly follows the University of Pittsburgh's motto - Veritas et Virtus.
