ThromboRisk is a 4-year (1 Feb 2026 - 30 Jan 2030) doctoral training network that aims to improve understanding of the mechanisms of thrombus formation and support more effective disease management.

The project adopts an interdisciplinary combination of computational models and advanced experimental techniques, including microfluidic models, microscopy, and functional imaging, and a multi-scale approach spanning from the cell to blood flow.

ThromboRisk will train 18 exceptional doctoral students across 6 countries (The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Romania, Switzerland, UK) in diverse scientific fields, including mechanobiology, biochemistry, pathophysiology, and computational modelling.

These researchers will collaborate to advance our understanding of thrombosis and bridge the gap between micro-level thrombus processes and macro-level disease impacts, enabling clinical applications.
