Looking into living cells

A microscope with super-resolution allows researchers to follow life’s processes in living cells, down to the level of individual molecules.

A view into a blood clot

What really happens inside a blood clot as it forms? To investigate this question in detail, researchers developed a method that enables 3-dimensional images of how blood clots form.

Research

Haemostasis Research Group in Linköping

We study regulation of platelet activation and interaction with coagulation from biochemistry and genes to clinical studies on antithrombotic drugs in cardiovascular diseases and how covid-19 causes thrombosis. We also develop new diagnostic methods.

Organisation
