Research Hemostasis & Coagulation Core

Established more than 30 years ago by Dr. Jerrold Levy (Emory Professor Emeritus), the Department of Anesthesiology’s Translational Laboratory, now the Emory Research Hemostasis and Coagulation Core Lab, has been responsible for more than 100 peer-reviewed research publications. 

The lab's main focus is on the mechanism and treatment of acquired coagulation disorders encountered in cardiac surgery, trauma, and other inflammatory processes.

Important lab capabilities include:

• Calibrated automated thrombography (CAT)
• Viscoelastic testing via multiple platforms
• Platelet aggregometry
• Advanced ELISA testing
• CBC
• Rotem
• -80 and -20 Freezer storage
• Centrifuge
