SSC Subcommittee on Immune-Mediated Platelet Disorders  

The activities of this Subcommittee are focused on immune disorders of platelets including fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia, primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), drug-induced thrombocytopenia and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. The main topics relate to the development and evaluation of biological assays for allo, auto, or drug-dependent antiplatelet antibodies, and the standardization of clinical disease criteria. This Subcommittee includes hematologists, biologists, laboratory scientists, and all practitioners working in the field of platelet immunology.

SSC Subcommittee on Models of Thrombosis and Hemostasis  

This Subcommittee is focused on modeling involving thrombosis, hemostasis, coagulation and fibrinolysis. It includes cellular, molecular, computational and pre-clinical in-vivo and in-vitro models.
Modeling a disease status is a challenge and most of the time can only be partially achieved. Understanding advantages and disadvantages of models lead us to an appropriate model selection. In addition, the standardization of current models and development of new models helps to improve science and expand the current knowledge.

SSC Subcommittee on OMICS in Thrombosis and Hemostasis  

The aim of the subcommittee is to develop an approach to assist in reducing the time to diagnosis of rare inherited platelet, thrombotic and bleeding disorders (BTPD), by taking advantage of advances in high throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies. For this potential to be fully realized, it is essential to develop and maintain a publicly accessible database that provides an evidence-based catalogue of diagnostic-grade (TIER1) genes for all known BTPD. Next, an integrated reference database of gold-standard disorder-causing DNA variants should be developed, which are clearly pathogenic, likely pathogenic and of unknown significance. Integrating HTS for complex genetics in the field of BTPD and the development of polygenic risk scores.
