| Project description The goal of the project was to explore the mechanisms for antithrombin interaction with immobilised heparin as related to the molecular structure of the immobilised heparin and the implications for cellular reactions and performance in whole blood tests. The collaborating research partner was Professor Rolf Larsson at UU, also a Project Leader for the project “A systematic approach to improve blood compatibility of biomaterials for cardiovascular applications”. ”The activities within this research project are excellent illustrations of a mutually beneficial collaboration between industry and academia”, says Professor Larsson. ”Industry, in this case Corline, provides interesting and relevant study objects and questions, and academia can use their sophisticated instruments and knowledge as part of an ongoing education of young scientists to provide useful answers published in peer-reviewed scientific reports.” |
