Matthew Harper

Matthew Harper is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. His research focuses on cardiovascular cell signalling, cell death, platelets, and procoagulant activity. His group investigates how platelets and other cells are controlled during thrombosis, particularly procoagulant platelets, a subpopulation of activated platelets that promote thrombin generation and release microparticles. His work integrates techniques such as flow cytometry, imaging, and microfluidics. Research themes include computer-based drug design and chemical biology.
