Dr Christine Lee is a postdoctoral researcher with a keen interest in platelet function testing. She completed her PhD under the supervision of Professor Elizabeth Gardiner at The Australian National University. Her thesis investigated the shedding mechanism of the major platelet collagen receptor, glycoprotein VI, in healthy donors and in patients with heparin induced thrombocytopenia. She joined the laboratory of Associate Professor Vivien Chen at the ANZAC Research Institute with an aim to undertake studies with clear translational potential and develop assays that will impact on the clinical outcomes of patients. These include novel diagnostics for heparin induced thrombocytopenia, vaccine induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis, anti-phospholipid syndrome and allo-immune thrombocytopenia with thrombosis. She has also been developing a novel technology for identifying a platelet sub-population within the procoagulant platelet phenotype that appears to predict arterial and venous thrombotic events in patient populations with high risk of thrombosis including essential thrombocythemia and cancer associated thrombosis.
