Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jerry Ware's research focuses on the role of platelets in various physiological and pathological processes, including thrombosis, inflammation, and cancer. He investigates how these blood components interact with other cells, such as monocytes and neutrophils, to initiate and propagate disease states, particularly venous thrombosis in mouse models.

His work has explored the contribution of platelets to inflammatory conditions like arthritis, where they amplify inflammation through collagen-dependent microparticle production. Furthermore, Ware's research extends to the interface of platelets, inflammation, and cancer, examining their involvement in tumor progression and metastasis. A specific area of investigation includes the function of platelet GPIbα as a mediator and potential therapeutic target in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and subsequent liver cancer. He also studies the role of platelets in supporting angiogenesis while preventing excessive hemorrhage.

Ware has a significant publication record, with over 220 publications and a citation count exceeding 13,000, reflected in his h-index of 60. He has been a Co-PI on two NIH grants totaling over $4.6 million, supporting research in biomedical partnerships and the role of platelets in radiation-induced immune dysregulation. His collaborations include several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
