Jamie Marie O'sullivan BSc, PhD

\Dr. Jamie O'Sullivan is a lecturer in the Irish Centre for Vascular Biology at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland whose research focuses on von Willebrand Factor (VWF) biochemistry and glycosylation, the role of lectin receptors in VWF biology and non-haemostatic roles for VWF. She graduated first in class with a BSc. Biomedical Science from University College Cork in 2011. She was selected for an Irish Research Council PhD scholarship award and she subsequently completed her PhD with the Haemostasis Research group in Trinity College Dublin, led by Professor James O'Donnell. The focus of her doctoral research included defining the role of coagulation protein glycosylation in regulating lectin interactions and modulating in vivo clearance.
Dr. O'Sullivan's postdoctoral research was funded through a Science Foundation Ireland Biotherapeutics Innovation award and focused on novel drug discovery specifically for the treatment of Haemophilia A patients and Von Willebrand disease. Her work has received prestigious awards from the Haematology Association of Ireland in both 2012, 2013 and 2014 and been presented both nationally and internationally at the American Society of Hematology 2013 and 2014, International Society for Thrombosis and Haemostasis 2015 and the Gordon Conference for Hemostasis 2016.
