Thomas Exner born in Prague in 1943, grew up in Sydney, Australia, gained his PhD from the University of Waterloo, Canada in 1972. Then he worked at Royal Prince Alfred and Westmead Hospitals back in Sydney developing a special interest in antiphospholipid syndrome. He laid the foundations for modern Russells viper venom-based clotting tests and organized the first lupus anticoagulant subcommittee of the ISTH. He independently discovered the protein C activator in rattlesnake venoms. Then worked at Gradipore/Life Diagnostics commercializing tests such as the collagen binding ELISA and protein C pathway clotting tests. He then set up Haematex Research, developing tests for procoagulant phospholipids, DOACs and most recently DOAC Stop.
