Abstract
Gustav Born (Gus) made fundamental contributions to the study of blood platelets and their role in thrombogenesis. Working first on the biochemistry of these cells and their granules, Gus later devised an extremely effective method to measure their dynamic responses when stimulated to aggregate by pro-thrombotic stimuli. ‘The Born Aggregometer’, as it is known, revolutionized the study of platelets and the diagnosis of platelet-related disorders. Gus was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1972 for his work and subsequently awarded the Royal Medal. He received numerous other accolades and awards for his contributions to cardiovascular medicine.
