Brief Bio:
Dr. Stolla’s background encompasses platelet biology, transfusion medicine, and thrombosis/hemostasis. He completed his medical school training at the University of Munich in Germany and his doctoral thesis at the Department of Experimental Cardiology at the Technical University in Munich, Germany. After an internship in Internal Medicine at the Klinikum Rechts der Isar in Munich, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Cardeza Foundation, Jefferson University in Philadelphia. He then started his residency in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Rochester, NY, followed by a fellowship in the Harvard Joint Program for Transfusion Medicine and a brief stint as faculty at Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA. Since 2016, he has been running his independent research program, is an associate member at the Bloodworks Northwest Research Institute, and is the platelet transfusion research laboratory director. He is also the CLIA director for the coagulation, platelet immunology, and red blood cell genomics labs for Bloodworks Northwest in downtown Seattle. His academic appointment is in the Department of Medicine, specifically in Hematology and Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, at the University of Washington. One of his areas of interest is the reversal of antiplatelet therapy by platelet transfusions.
