More great science from Nikki Curry at THOR_Network #THOR2025 on hemorrhagic shock effect on endothelial function with beautiful data on the impact of thrombomodulin on trauma-induced endotheliopathy

Fantastic last presentation at day 2 of THOR_Network #THOR2025 by Dr. Andre Cap on anti shock/mitochondrial therapeutics and extracellular vesicles in trauma.

Col. Jen Gurney with the Honorary Viking of the Year award THOR_Network 2025!!! Well deserved. 👊👊👊

Colonel Jen Gurney receives the Honorary Viking of the Year award at THOR_Network 2025 - very well deserved, and fitting!

Day 3 begins for THOR_Network #THOR2025, starting with the postpartum hemorrhage session. Grace Lim, MD MS discussed the pathology and distinction of PPH from TIC.

Grateful to THOR_Network for the opportunity to present our work Ohio State Wexner Medical Center Surgery Dept. on sex dimorphisms in Src kinase - a possible mechanism for estrogen priming of P2Y receptors on platelets. Should we be thinking about platelet transfusion & antiplatelet therapy different by sex?

Thanks to Bellal Joseph for inspiring our trainees and teaching us all! Outstanding grand rounds and great company! Pitt Surgery UPMC
