Head shot of Ana Antun

Academic Appointment

  • Associate Professor, Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology, Emory University School of Medicine

Education

Degrees

  • MD from National University of Cordoba

Research

Focus

  • My research focuses on drug discovery and quality of life improvement for bleeding and thrombotic disorders, and especially for both end of the spectrum of platelet disorders; thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and thrombocytopenic patients with hematological malignancies. I am conducting clinical studies to understand the relationship between hemophilia, arthropathy and reduction of functional ability, and the association between obesity, severity of hemophilia and bone density.
