Lisa uses thrombelastography (TEG) and dynamic, fluorescent imaging of platelets (procoagulant membrane dynamics, PMD) to evaluate temporal changes in coaguation and platelet activation, respectively, in patients who have undergone orthopaedic surgery. As individuals with cancer are hypercoagulable and at increased risk for thromboembolic complications, she is specifically investigating patients with metastatic bone disease. Lisa aims to use the results of this study to support the development of guidelines for thromboprophylaxis that are appropriate, effective, and personalized for patients with MBD.
