The particular focus is on platelet function as it relates to the acute coronary syndrome. We are currently investigating the relationship between platelet polymorphisms and basic platelet function. Our future plans are to study the effects of aspirin therapy on platelet function and determine the definition of aspirin resistance biologically and clinically in patients coronary artery disease Platelets, Thrombosis, Coronary artery disease, Acute coronary syndrome, Genotyping, Aspirin Resistance 1992-present American College of Cardiology 1992-present Association of Black Cardiologists 1999-present Johns Hopkins Department of Medicine Task Force on Women’s Academic Careers in Medicine 1999-present Johns Hopkins Hospital Internship Selection Committee 1999-present Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Internship Selection Comm. 2002-2003 Johns Hopkins Hospital Hematology Search Committee 2002-present American Federation for Medical Research 1997-98 Merck Fellow of the American College of Cardiology 1999-present Fellow of the American College of Cardiology Williams MS.
