Since 2003 he has been Professor of Haemostasis and Thrombosis at QMUL.

His clinical practice today spans both adults and children and covers all aspects of haemostasis and thrombosis. He had been the Haemophilia Centre Director at Barts Health since 2007.

He has also been involved in the development of national policy and guideline formulation. Previously he was an advisor to the Parliamentary Health Select Committee and worked with the Department of Health on VTE prevention policy.

He is a member of NHS England Clinical Reference Group (GRG) for Inherited Bleeding Disorders, leads the link between the CRG and NIHR on research and co-chair of the ISTH Scientific and Standardization Committee on factor VIII, factor IX and rare coagulation disorders and the WFH Gene Therapy Roundtable.

Research

Research Interests:

John Pasi’s research interests cover many aspects of inherited and acquired bleeding and clotting disorders, particularly new bioengineered therapies for haemophilia, novel therapies for haemophilia including gene therapy and RNAi technologies as well as the optimization of currently available therapies. He is closely involved in the design and development of clinical trials for new therapies and evolving phase 1-4 programmes. Currently he is the lead for a number of multicentre global trials using these new technologies.
