The formation of a clot is an exquisitely regulated biological process in which a complex
fluid, blood, undergoes a rapid transformation into a densely packed porous medium at
the site of a vascular injury. In this talk Keith Neeves will review the biophysical mechanisms that regulate the formation of a blood clot, with a focus on mass transfer limitations of platelet
agonists and inhibitors, coagulation and fibrin formation. Measurements made in
microfluidic models of vascular injury reveal that these mass transfer limitation have
important implications in the pathophysiology of bleeding and thrombotic disorders.
