Great poster presenting, Ronit "Papai" Kar ! So proud of what you accomplished in your Pitt Med PSTP research year. Excellent work here characterizing #platelet #TIC in #pediatrictrauma in our collaboration with @ChristineLeeper

Great poster presentation by PittMed student Rohit “Papai” Kar of super cool work in microfluidics in trauma with Susan Shea in Pitt Trauma & Transfusion Medicine Research Center labs #ISTH2024. Pitt Med Magazine PittResearch University of Pittsburgh

Trauma/thrombosis translational research at its finest - Susan Shea highlighting the critical need to study flow dynamics and microfluidics in thrombosis pathology. True state of the art science from Pitt Trauma & Transfusion Medicine Research Center Pitt Surgery now at #ISTH2024 ISTH Pitt Health Sciences University of Pittsburgh

Susan Shea sharing some awesome new work from her lab - props to Ronit "Papai" Kar & Emily Mihalko - on post-occlusion thrombus remodeling over time at the Mechanisms of Thrombus Formation SOA this morning! #ISTH2024 pardon the rainbow interpretation by my photo skills 🤣

Absolutely excellent talk by Emily Mihalko on using #aptamer BB-031 targeting #VWF A1 to recanalize occlusive arterial thrombi in a #microfluidicmodel mimicking ischemic #stroke. Very proud! We’ll be wrapping up and submitting this story soon with collaborator SHAHID NIMJEE 🙌🏼

Jack Killinger killing it in the #TIC session at #ISTH2024. Great job representing Pitt Trauma & Transfusion Medicine Research Center Susan Shea discussing microfluidics in TBI. Pitt Surgery

Back on the stage again - Emily Mihalko as part of the strong Pitt Trauma & Transfusion Medicine Research Center Pitt Surgery Susan Shea presence at #ISTH2024 #TIC session. Outstanding presentation on the science of microfluidics in #trauma and #platelet function!

More poster fun today at #ISTH2024 - strong work Katelin Rahn and Jack Killinger presenting on behalf of Ronit "Papai" Kar !

Honored to have had the opportunity to present @ISTH in #Bangkok this year and grateful for those (Matthew D. Neal, MD Susan Shea Pitt Trauma & Transfusion Medicine Research Center) who made it possible. Looking forward to many more ISTHs to come. (Post delayed due to post-conference vacation fun in #Phuket with Katelin Rahn)

New in print! We found reduced platelet content in #microfluidic clots in #trauma patient samples relative to healthy controls. Kim Thomas Philip Spinella, MD Matthew D.

VERY proud of my first year Pitt Bioengineering grad student Jack Killinger for giving a great talk about our recent findings regarding the circulating #lipidome in stored #platelets at #AABB24 ! Pitt Trauma & Transfusion Medicine Research Center Pitt Surgery

#AABB2024 posters on our ongoing work: lyophilized cryo led by Emily Mihalko, platelet manufacturing differences from an interim analysis of CHIPSiv data, and rabbit blood banking work for the DARPA funded CONCERT study!
