My primary line of research is on hemodynamics controlling thrombosis or hemostasis. We have developed an reproducible assay that differentiates the shear rate dependence on coagulation and platelet-VWF thrombus formation for both intravascular occlusions, and hemorrhage hemostasis. We have characterized the structure and mechanics of platelet-rich thrombi using several in vitro blood flow systems. These in vitro formations of platelet thrombosis are verified with human data. Our work extends to prevention of thrombosis, lysis of platelet-VWF thrombi, and quantitative ranking of new agents for hemostasis.
