🩸 @UBCmedicine & @CBR_UBC researchers developed a groundbreaking coating to make #MedicalDevices safer for millions of patients.
Dr. Jayachandran Kizhakkedathu's lab (@JayKizLab) created this new material to mimic the natural behaviour of blood vessels: bit.ly/3ABPs5K
Dr. Haifeng Ji presenting the results of our paper hot off the press at the @CBR_UBC Earl W. Davie symposium.
We are also excited to share that this work has been published today in @NaturePortfolio @NatureMaterials! Read more on our contact activation inhibiting antithrombotic coatings published in Nature Materials here:

A total of 157 new programs and projects led by @UBC researchers were awarded more than $36 million through the 2024 @NSERC_CRSNG Discovery Research Program competition.
🤩 Congratulations to all awardees including Dr. @JayKizLab! See the complete list: bit.ly/4eIZb9x
Lab meetings are always better with cake - wishing a happy birthday to team members Kai, Iren, and Jay!
Thrilled to have our collaborative research with @JHMorrissey on smart thrombosis inhibitors featured in @NLM_NIH!
🩸 Blood clots can be dangerous, but researchers are making big strides in understanding and treating them. Read about the latest breakthroughs from @NIH_NHLBI and NIH @MedlinePlus Magazine! loom.ly/fTsnHDA
