    Christian Kastrup, PhD is a Senior Investigator at the Versiti Blood Research Institute and a Professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin in the Department of Surgery, with secondary appointments in the Departments of Biochemistry, Biomedical Engineering, and Pharmacology and Toxicology. He is also an Affiliate Professor at The University of British Columbia and Co-founder of NanoVation Therapeutics, SeraGene Therapeutics and CoMotion Drug Delivery Systems. Christian is a biochemist who uses biotechnology to understand and control blood coagulation and fibrinolysis proteins. He is passionate about controlling blood clotting because hemorrhage is a leader killer of young people, and thrombosis causes heart attacks, strokes and deep vein thromboses. His lab creates drug delivery systems and RNA and protein therapeutics toward addressing these issues. They work collaboratively with the Canadian Armed Forces and the US Army. Christian has trained and supervised over a hundred researchers in his laboratory with these shared goals.
