Course: UR A&S Lecture Series: The Physics of Blood (OSH-BLOODPHY)
We will explore how physics is used to understand blood clotting. Blood clots are complex and entities that are studied at the large-scale population level all the way down to the individual molecule level. We will look at the tiny forces and materials involved in blood clotting and discuss the challenging methods used to measure at sizes 1000 times smaller than a human hair. We will also cover some current research in the field.
