Shownotes Transcript

Welcome to Ask Stago, The Podcast dedicated to provide expert answers to your expert questions in coagulation.

 

In today’s episode, our guest Dr Bryan G Fry, aka Venom Doc, will make us enter his world and understand how venom interact with coagulation and how they can prove useful for assay or drug design & development
