Title: Development of CS585 as a novel drug for the prevention of thrombosis.
Host: Rick Kapur
Research:
Dr. Holinstat’s research interests focus on understanding lipid, lipoxygenase, and oxygenase regulation of platelet signaling and function and how it relates to regulation of hemostasis and thrombosis. Dr. Holinstat has received numerous patents in the US, EU, and Japan for various therapeutic discoveries to treat cardiovascular disease and has developed a number of first-in-class antiplatelet drugs including the 12-lipoxygenase inhibitor (ML355) and prostacyclin receptor agonist (CS585) that are both in various stages of clinical development for thrombosis.
