Peifer Lab

Wolberg Lab at the UNC School of Medicine focuses on understanding the cellular, biochemical, and biophysical mechanisms of blood coagulation, emphasizing the role of abnormal blood clotting in various diseases such as cancer, infection, and autoimmune disorders. Utilizing advanced technologies, the lab aims to identify alterations in molecular mechanisms associated with these conditions and develop innovative treatments targeting blood cells and proteins.

Cardiovascular disease stands as the leading cause of death and disability in the Western world, with associated complications from abnormal blood clotting contributing significantly to mortality rates. The lab's research highlights the critical impacts of thrombosis and bleeding, underlining the urgency for effective interventions in related health issues.
