DrJose Perdomo

Dr Perdomo earned his PhD from the School of Molecular and Microbial Biosciences at the University of Sydney. He was subsequently awarded a Vice-Chancellor's Fellowship, which led him to the Centre for Vascular Research at the University of New South Wales to explore gene regulation in cardiac and blood cells.

His research then shifted toward haematology, stem cells, thrombosis, antibody engineering, and cell biology, which he pursued at the Haematology Research Unit within the St George & Sutherland Clinical School at the University of New South Wales.

His work in thrombosis research led to the filing of two international patents involving nine molecules. These innovations were recognised with the 1^st prize in the Australian division of the 4th China Shenzhen Innovation and Entrepreneurship International Competition in 2020.

Currently, he is based at the Charles Perkins Centre, where his research investigates the connections between white blood cells, endothelial cells, and thrombosis, as well as the formation of platelets by megakaryocytes, using both mouse models and human-derived cells.
