To understand the roles of plasminogen activation in the blood and the brain [ 2013 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Robert Medcalf (Principal investigator)

Brief description This research Fellowship will focus of the molecular and cellular biology of the plasminogen activating system, more commonly associated with the removal of blood clots. The research proposed will address a new paradigm for the removal of blood clots, and also a program to understand how the plasminogen activating system modulates the central nervous system and the immune response. This research will impact directly on ischaemic stroke, traumatic brain injury and multiple sclerosis.
