More Info

Thrombosis and sepsis are among the leading causes of preventable deaths.
However, there are currently no biomarkers for early detection, nor diagnostic methods to prevent complications or to personalize treatment. Interactions between blood cells contain hidden diagnostic information that can support clinical decision-making.

We can access this information using novel and cost-effective imaging technologies. To demonstrate the predictive power of blood cell aggregates, we analyzed the severity of illness in COVID-19 intensive care patients based on the dynamics of platelet aggregates.

Oliver Hayden from the School of CIT will present these findings in his lecture as part of the “Science for Everyone” series.

Moderation: Bernhard Wolfrum, Chair of Neuroelectronics
