I am Dr Jun Yong, MbChb, MRCP. I am a clinical haematology trainee based in Liverpool, UK, and am currently undertaking a PhD in Haemostasis and Thrombosis at the University of Liverpool under the guidance of Professor Cheng-Hock Toh. Our research group has a long term interest in the cross-talk between coagulation, innate immunity and inflammation, and how it contributes to coagulopathy in acute illnesses. Our goal is to achieve bedside gains (by restitution of haemostatic balance) through benchside understanding of the pathological process. My specific area of research is into the thrombogenic potential of extracellular histones via its interactions with fibrinogen and prothrombin. Apart from conventional in vitro and in vivo techniques in haemostasis, I am also interested in harnessing novel bio-structral methodologies (e.g. cryo-EM) to assist with our therapeutic goals.
