Director Zhu Tienan, Chief Physician of the Haematology Department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, as well as Director Wu Jun, Chief of the Laboratory Department at Peking Ji Shui Tan Hospital, both share their expertise on how early detection of thrombotic events can lead to better diagnosis and treatment.
