Research group(s)

• Thrombosis and Haemostasis Research Group
  Head: Cihan Ay
  Research Area: Our research focuses on thrombosis and haemostasis, with a particular interest in improving the understanding of risk, clinical course and mechanisms of venous thrombosis and bleeding disorders such as haemophilia. The Thrombosis & Haemostasis Research Group is part of the Department of Medicine I, Clinical Division of Haemotology and Haemostaseology, and jointly affiliated with Comprehensive Cancer Center, Cardiovascular Cluster and the Comprehensive Center for Cardiovascular Medicine.

Research interests

My main research focus covers the various aspects of haemostasis and thrombosis research, diagnosis and treatment, such as cancer-associated thrombosis, anticoagulation in venous thromboemolism and atrial fibrillation, pulmonary embolism, haemophilia, acquired coagulation disorders, cardiovascular diseases in patients with endstage-renal disease on hemodialysis

Techniques, methods & infrastructure

The Ay lab has space for 4 researchers at the Anna Spiegel Building and three more laboratory spaces located at the Vienna General Hospital to allow for immediate sample preparation. Both laboratories are equipped with different devices necessary to analyse coagulation, including a UF/VIS Microtiterplate Spectralphotometer, an Ultrawash PLUS Microplate Washer, a Multiscan Spectrum Multiplate Reader, the automated coagulation instrument Ceveron alpha and the CytoFLEX Flow Cytometer (Beckman Coulter).
