Pradhan-Sundd Lab

The Pradhan-Sundd Laboratory explores hepato-vascular cells in sickle cell disease and other hematological disorders.

The Pradhan-Sundd Laboratory’s goal is to gain a better understanding of the involvement of hepato-vascular cells (liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, tissue resident macrophages and monocytes) in hematologic liver diseases. Our disease models include a humanized mouse model of sickle cell disease-induced acute and chronic liver injury, iron overload in the liver, murine models of hemolysis, vasculopathy, stressed erythrophagocytosis, and a mouse model of hemophilia.

 

Research

The Pradhan-Sundd lab’s research focuses on chronic organ injury and the processes of hepatic hemoglobin, heme and iron clearance in sickle cell disease.
