BHF report on haemostasis and thrombosis

The British Heart Foundation has given substantial funds over the years to support research into thrombosis and haemostasis. This report summarises some of the achievements and highlights over more than 60 years of BHF funding in the area of research. Many more research projects have been funded that are not listed here, but it gives examples of some of the work supported. 

The BSHT are very grateful to the BHF for their continued efforts to support this important field.

You can read the report on the BHF website, including an overview of key discoveries in the field.
