Division of Thrombosis Research

FacultyServices Projects PublicationsResearch Staff

This Division carries out the evaluation of material - blood interaction. The tests used for evaluation of blood compatibility are classified into five categories according to the process or system being tested such as Thrombosis, Coagulation, Platelets and platelet function, hematology and immunology. In addition, quantitative estimation of protein adsorption and endothelial cell adhesion and proliferation on surfaces with ability to resist shear stress under, which are important indicators of blood compatibility are also being carried out. Other activities include the development of new reagents and tests for evaluation of blood - material interaction, development of haemostatic bioadhesives for clinical applications, studies on modification of blood contacting biomaterials to reduce thrombogenicity by tissue engineering, in combination with bioadhesives.
