Junior group 'Clinical Epidemiology'

Jürgen Prochaska, MD

Junior group leader


The research group "Thrombotic diseases and antithrombotic therapy" is integrated in the Clinical Epidemiology of the CTH as an independent BMBF-funded junior research group investigating clinically-relevant research topics in the field of arterial and venous thrombosis. Biodata banks of population-based (Gutenberg Health Study) and diseased cohorts (thrombEVAL, VTEval, FOCUS Bioseq, MyoVasc, Prospectus) are investigated in a holistic approach incorporating genetic information, ´omics´ data, (sub)clinical phenotypes and clinical outcome.

The scientific working program investigates risk factors for the development of thrombotic diseases in the arterial and venous system and their sequelae, in particular heart failure. A specific focus is the investigation of subclinical phenotypes of cardiovascular disease, which are of particular interest for preventive medicine. These studies are complemented by research projects addressing diagnosis, therapy and prevention of thrombotic diseases.

Research interest

  • Diagnosis, therapy and prevention of thrombotic diseases and its sequelae
  • Interaction between hemostasis and the development and progression of the heart failure syndrome
  • Cross-talk of venous diseases and arterial cardiovascular disease
