Overview

Sandra L. Hofmann is affiliated with The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in the United States. Their research output spans the field of Medicine, with a particular focus on hematology, organic chemistry, immunology, materials chemistry, and physiology.

Their main areas of study and topics include:

  • Complement system in diseases
  • Platelet disorders and treatments
  • Blood groups and transfusion
  • Lysosomal storage disorders research
  • Renal diseases and glomerulopathies
  • Synthetic organic chemistry methods
  • Asymmetric synthesis and catalysis

Notable recent publications by Hofmann feature research on enzymatic therapies, hematologic conditions, and clinical techniques. Select papers include:

  • Cross-species efficacy of enzyme replacement therapy for CLN1 disease in mice and sheep, 2022, Journal of Clinical Investigation
  • Bortezomib in relapsed/refractory immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: A single-centre retrospective cohort and systematic literature review, 2023, British Journal of Haematology
  • Comparison of low fixed dose versus standard-dose rituximab to treat thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura in the acute phase and preemptively during remission, 2020, Transfusion and Apheresis Science
  • Safety and efficacy of digital chest drainage units compared to conventional chest drainage units in cardiac surgery, 2020, Interactive Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery
  • Therapeutic plasma exchange in severe refractory autoimmune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia with thrombosis, 2021, British Journal of Haematology

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Hofmann include Siayareh Rambally, Ravi Sarode, Natalie Bavli, U. Nubbemeyer, and Jonas Donges.

Publication venues where Hofmann has contributed multiple papers include the British Journal of Haematology, Blood, and The Cambridge Structural Database as well as other specialized journals.

In recognition of their contributions to the scientific community, Hofmann was awarded the title of Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2013.
