Brief description We aim to develop gas-filled microbubbles that are directed to markers of thrombosis and inflammation and will allow visualisation of blood clots and early inflammatory reactions via ultrasound. This will allow early and timely treatment. We will systematically test for the best method of microbubble coating with recombinant antibodies in various animal models of thrombosis and inflammation. In addition, we plan to load microbubbles with drugs and target these to areas where they are needed.
