Lectures details

For each lecture, we provide a list of keywords indicating the content. The school is dedicated to Thrombosis.

The pdfs of the lectures will be made available here (password required). The list will be completed as we receive the slides.

Lecture 1: K. Neeves- Haemostasis overview

Keywords: platelet, thrombin, fibrin, hemophilia, trauma

Lecture 2: B. Hunt - Venous thromboembolism

One in four deaths globally is due to thrombosis, of the three main causes, myocardial infarction, stroke and venous thromboembolism (VTE), the latter is the least well known by the public. This lecture will describe the pathogenesis and how to avoid prevent and manage VTE

Lecture 3: P. Mangin - Arterial Thrombosis

Keywords: atherothrombosis, stroke, stent thrombosis, platelets, fibrin, GPVI

Lecture 4: M. Avci-Adali - Artificial surface-induced thrombosis and the hemocompatibility of biomaterials

Keywords: medical devices, blood-contacting surface, hemocompatibility, coagulation, thrombosis, inflammation, complement system

Lecture 5: A. Fogelson - Thrombosis Modeling

Keywords: Multiphase flow; Viscoelastic-plastic materials; Protein Bond Kinetics and Mechanics; Thrombus stability

Lecture 6: M. Qi -  In vitro and in silico modeling of thrombosis and thrombosis-inspired drug delivery

Keywords: microfluidics, parallel computation, platelets, margination, endothelium, nanomedicine, cell therapies

Lecture 7: F. Gijsen - Structure and mechanical properties of thrombi

Keywords: microstructure, histology, mechanical characterization, constitutive modelling, thrombus-device interaction, thrombus imaging, clinical studies

Lecture 8: B. Hunt - Thrombo-inflammation

Inflammation and thrombosis are not independent processes but closely linked together. This lecture will describe the links and their consequences using Covid-19 as one of the examples.

Lecture 9: M-A Labeyrie - Clinical impact of thrombosis in cervical and cerebral arterial diseases 

The lecture will present typical situations where thrombosis is the main determinant of ischemic stroke in cervical and intracranial arterial diseases with or without endovascular therapy
