Thrombosis is a hallmark of life-threatening diseases, such as myocardial infarction, stroke or venous thromboembolism representing major causes of death in the western civilization. In 2014 the Special Research Program SFB-F54 (“Cellular Mediators Linking Inflammation and Thrombosis”) was launched at the Medical University Vienna financed by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), which comprises a network of eight research groups that are focusing on molecular and cellular links between inflammation and thrombotic diseases to provide a new view of thrombosis integrating the role of inflammatory processes thereby building up new strategies for therapeutic interventions.
Our Special Research Program SFB-F54 has been extended for a second funding phase from 2018 - 2022.
