Associate Professor Michael Boffa is situated in the Department of Biochemistry at Western University. His research specializes in vascular biology, hemostasis, and thrombosis, focusing on the regulation of the fibrinolytic system. He works to understand how the enzyme thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) influences the stability of blood clots and the risk of cardiovascular disease. Holding a Doctor of Philosophy from Queen's University, he is a scientist at the Robarts Research Institute. He supervises graduate students exploring the molecular mechanisms of blood coagulation and is currently available for doctoral mentorship and research inquiries regarding protein chemistry and vascular health.
