Research summary
AI-generated

Travis Nemkov studies the biology and chemistry of red blood cells, using metabolomics (the large-scale measurement of small molecules produced by metabolism) and proteomics (large-scale study of proteins) to understand how blood ages, how it responds to stress like exercise or low oxygen, and how well it can be stored and transfused. His work also extends to how genetics shapes blood and serum chemistry, and how metabolism influences cancer, immune cells, and stem cell health. Much of the research connects donor genetics and molecular signatures to practical outcomes in blood transfusion.
