Dr. Rodney Camire

Biography

Rodney M. Camire is a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. He holds a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Vermont and a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from Saint Anselm College. His research focuses on the molecular basis of blood coagulation and its disorders, particularly in advancing new therapeutic approaches aimed at treating conditions like hemophilia and thrombosis. Camire's laboratory explores the complex functionality of blood coagulation components and develops innovative gene therapy strategies. He employs a variety of experimental techniques, from enzymology and biophysics to in vivo methods, to gain insights into the activation of procofactor systems and the processing of serine protease zymogens. His recent work includes imaging coagulation reactions in vivo and collaborating with industry partners to create novel protein therapeutics.
