Adamts13 Biology and Disease

“The purpose is to
provide a current overview of ADAMTS13, spanning basic science and clinical
medicine. … of interest to any medical students, residents, practicing
physicians, or allied health practitioners involved in the care of these
patients. … If you are even remotely interested in ADAMTS13, you must get this
book. This is most certainly one of the best current reviews of this subject
available today.” (Valerie L. Ng, Doody’s Book Reviews, November, 2015)

Dr. George M. Rodgers received his M.D. and Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Tulane University Medical School in New Orleans, Louisiana. He completed his internal medicine training at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, along with a hematology fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco, and served on the UCSF faculty. He is currently Professor of Medicine and Pathology at the University of Utah Medical Center in Salt Lake City and Medical Director of the Coagulation Laboratory at ARUP Laboratories. Dr. Rodgers is board certified in internal medicine, hematology and hematopathology. His clinical interests are in benign hematology, particularly coagulation disorders, and his basic research interests are in vascular biology, especially endothelial cell regulation of hemostasis. A current project is studying the role of ADAMTS13 in angiogenesis.
