Research Interests
 
My research interests are focused on improving transfusion therapy to sickle cell disease patients through blood bank management and increasing the number of African American blood donors.

Current projects include 1) a descriptive study of blood bank/transfusion medicine practices for sickle cell patients in NC hospitals and hospitals affiliated with a NIH Comprehensive Sickle Cell Centers and 2) a qualitative study of factors influencing African Americans’ participation in blood donation at a historically black college/university.
