HU Researcher Collaborates with German Team on Breakthrough Study

Dr. Rozan Attili, a faculty member of the College of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences at Hebron University, has co-authored and published a significant scientific study titled "Influence of Anticoagulants and Heparin Contaminants on the Suitability of MMP-9 as a Blood-Derived Biomarker" in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (Impact Factor: 4.9).
Conducted with researchers from the University of Hannover Medical Center, the study examines how certain anticoagulants and heparin contaminants affect the diagnostic reliability of MMP-9 as a stroke biomarker.
The findings suggest high molecular weight and charged anticoagulants may compromise diagnostic accuracy.
The study emphasizes the importance of selecting low-molecular-weight anticoagulants to ensure diagnostic accuracy.
This collaborative research highlights Hebron University's role in advancing global medical science.
