Biography

Maureane Hoffman is a Professor in the Department of Pathology at Duke University. Her research focuses on the blood coagulation system, particularly the processes involved in hemostasis and their connections to inflammation and immunity in response to injury. Dr. Hoffman has developed a cell-based model of tissue factor-initiated coagulation, which serves as a powerful tool for understanding the basic mechanisms of hemostasis. This model has advanced knowledge regarding the role of coagulation factors, particularly factors VIII and IX, in hemophilia and has been used to study conditions such as dilutional coagulopathy and the effects of anticoagulant treatment on wound healing. Dr. Hoffman's insights have helped clarify the delayed wound healing observed in hemophiliacs, emphasizing the importance of cellular activation and angiogenesis in these processes. She has received numerous grants to support her research, including those from the National Institutes of Health, and holds various professional roles, actively contributing to scientific committees and conferences.
