Research Summary

The focus of my research is understanding thrombin-fibrin interactions in clots. During coagulation, thrombin binds to fibrin and will remain bound to the clot for extended periods of time under flow. My goal is to study the effect of this binding on the stability of fibrin by measuring various physical properties, including its denaturation temperature.
