Research

  • Dr. P.W. Ackermann is focusing his research on neuro-vascular regulation of venous thromboembolism (blood clots), pain and musculo-skeletal tissue repair.  Physical inactivity is one of the greatest threats to health in modern times, contributing to blood clots, muscle loss, pain, obesity, and diabetes. Orthopedic patients face even greater risks due to injuries, surgeries, and prolonged periods of leg immobilization. In our research group, we aim to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying complications such as blood clotting, impaired healing, and pain. Additionally, we are developing innovative, targeted strategies to prevent these complications by stimulating blood flow and nerve activity during periods of inactivity.
