Dr Samantha Montague is a research fellow in the Birmingham Platelet Group at Cardiovascular Sciences. She is supported by the British Heart Foundation.

Dr Montague’s background is in exploring platelet activation and function in thromboinflammation. Her current research is investigating platelet activation and signalling of tyrosine kinase receptors, including the platelet receptor FcgRIIA. 

Qualifications
