Award of Excellence for Scientific Contribution to the Field of Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Prof. Krilis specialises in the treatment and research of Antiphospholipid syndrome. His laboratory was the first to recognise the major auto-antigen involved. In 2004 after a decade of research Krilis led a team of researchers which identified a mechanism that can cause blood clots - a discovery with implications for those susceptible to deep-vein thrombosis, strokes, recurrent miscarriages and Antiphospholipid syndrome.
