Vascular Biology and Hemostasis
For over 40 years, Loyola faculty in this division have participated in translational research to understand the disease process and develop innovative diagnostic methods, devices, and drugs. We seek to promote collaborative research opportunities to extend our research programs at national and international levels.
Our multi-discipline team focuses on the pathophysiological mechanisms of vascular disorders and their management via several lines of research:
- Venous thromboembolism
- Acute coronary syndrome
- Atrial fibrillation
- Thrombotic and ischemic stroke
- Vascular manifestations of venous disorders and sepsis associated vascular disorders
- Cancer associated thrombosis and bleeding
- Auto immune disease related vascular pathogenesis
