Biography

Lawrence Leung is a Professor of Medicine specializing in Hematology at Stanford University. His research interests include understanding natural antithrombotic pathways and the pathophysiology of vascular thrombosis. He has been integral in studying thrombin, a key enzyme in the blood clotting cascade, and has generated library thrombin mutants to map critical functional sites of thrombin interactions with diverse substrates. Leung has also focused on the role of thrombin-activatable carboxypeptidase in regulating thrombin's pro-thrombotic and pro-inflammatory properties, aiming to develop new antithrombotic agents and diagnostic tests for vascular thrombotic disorders. He has been involved in numerous academic appointments, including Senior Associate Dean for Veterans Affairs at Stanford’s School of Medicine and Chief of Staff at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System.
