Bio/Research

Anthony Chan started his research career in 1997 at McMaster University and quickly rose to Full Professorship by 2005. Dr. Chan also obtained a Heart and Stroke Foundation Career Investigator award in 2005, which followed the honour of being recognized with the Canadian Pediatric Society Research Award (2000). Over the last 3 ñ 5 years, Dr. Chan has studied the generation of thrombin leading to a pending patent (PCT WO2007/073597) and development of assays with commercial partners Diagnostica Stago and Technoclone. Dr. Chanís primary research involving a covalent antithrombin-heparin (ATH) complex, that has potential to prevent catheter-related thrombosis in children, has engendered many issued patents that resulted in his recent recognition by McMaster with a distinguished innovator award. In the clinical realm, Dr. Chan is continuing to contribute his expertise in thrombosis by providing around-the-clock free consultation world wide through the 1800NOCLOTS service.
