Georgia CTSA Innovation Catalyst Director Co-Authors Research on Model for Preventing and Treating Microvascular Thromboinflammation
Corresponding co-author Wilbur Lam, MD, PhD, Emory/Georgia Tech/Children’s, reveals in Nature a new model that may revolutionize clot treatment—delivering the right medications, dose, and timing to save lives with novel combinations. “Because we created this system where we observe a blood clot on a chip over long periods of time, such as days to weeks, we can map out its entire resolution process, and that has never been done before,” says Lam.
