“The Dynamics of Fibrin Gel Formation”

James P. Keener

Salt Lake City, Utah
Thursday, April 17, 2014
4:10 p.m., Neill 5W

The purpose of this talk is to describe recent advances in the study of the dynamics of fibrin clot formation. In particular, I will derive and discuss features of a new partial differential equation model that describes the growth of fibrin clots as a polymerization/gelation reaction. The solution of this PDE model gives insight into the branching structure of clots that are formed under various physiological conditions.

Refreshments served at 3:30 p.m.
