Gel point and fractal microstructure of incipient blood clots are significant new markers of hemostasis for healthy and anticoagulated blood
The significance of this paper in Blood (IF 10.558) merited an Expert Commentary on the discovery of a fractal biomarker for abnormal clotting. It results from a Royal Society Brian Mercer Award and collaboration with the NHS and EPSRC (EP/C513037/1). The work is being used in NHS trials and projects at Atlanta and Philadelphia. Its commercialization has received substantial first-round investment. It underpins an NIHR award involving five companies. An EPSRC Impact Case Study 2011 reports: “The translation of the research, the added value from the follow on funding and the impact from the devices in clinical settings are Exemplary”.
