Tarun Tyagi, PhD

Dr Tyagi is interested in translational biomedical research focussed on platelets and T cells. He is exploring the molecular basis of platelet dysfunction and platelet mediated events in various pathophysiological states including solid tumors and rare diseases. He has developed interest in platelet-T cell crosstalk mechanisms and recently identified a novel platelet dependent T cell regulatory mechanism. His research approach involves lab investigations on human samples, mouse models and in vitro as well as in silico studies.

He has studied human and rodent platelets and T cells using a range of methods. Besides this, he has also studied the intricacies of platelet biology in cardiovascular disorders. In past, for his PhD in Life Science, Dr Tyagi studied platelet proteome for its role in hypoxia induced thrombosis.
