Research Focus
Dr. Fadi Khasawneh's lab at Texas A&M University focuses on understanding how the exposure of future fathers to electronic nicotine delivery systems (like e-cigarettes) impacts cardiovascular health and thrombosis, especially in offspring. Their research aims to uncover the mechanisms behind these effects, including how paternal exposure influences platelet function and blood clotting. By investigating these areas, the lab seeks to inform public health strategies and policies related to tobacco use and paternal health.
