Speaking on monoclonal antibody therapies for TA-TMA
Dr Gavriilaki’s research is primarily in the field of transplantation. She has published many studies investigating the treatment of transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA), an endothelial damage syndrome that’s increasingly found as a complication of autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Many of these investigations have explored the therapeutic potential of monoclonal antibodies.
