"Red Light Reduces Thrombus Burden in a Murine Model of Stasis Thrombosis"
Presenter: Dr. Elizabeth Andraska (advisor: Dr. Matthew Neal)
Dr. Andraska is investigating the mechanisms of venous thrombus formation and propagation. Currently, she is evaluating the role of light in stasis thrombosis and the effect of photobiomodulation on innate immune biology.
"Past, Present, and Future of Designing a Novel Small Caliber Synthetic Vascular Graft: An Update
Presenter: Dr. JB Moses (advisor: Dr. Edith Tzeng)
Peripheral artery disease is a growing problem with significant economic impact. Current synthetic bypass grafts offer poor long-term patency for distal small vessel disease defined as less than 6mm in diameter. From idea to prototype, Dr. Moses will be discussing the trials, tribulations, successes, and failures of trying to create a novel small caliber synthetic vascular graft. He will then briefly discuss a newer project aimed at retrospectively evaluating best medical management versus surgical intervention for patients with claudication.
