Dr. Jahr has been at the forefront the conduct of definitive preclinical and clinical studies involving the application of Hemoglobin-based Oxygen Carriers in the treatment of hemorrhage and orthopedic surgery. He is the world’s foremost expert in the use of advanced diagnostic techniques in the study of the impact of volumizing fluids and HBOCs on coagulapathy, and related coagulation and platelet function. Throughout his extraordinary professional career, Dr. Jahr has been interested in the use of resuscitative fluids, blood transfusions, and intervention in the treatment of severe trauma, and the clinical efficacy of the use of blood substitutes, including perfluorocarbon technologies and hemoglobin based oxygen carriers to reduce the need for blood transfusions in clinical practice. He has served as co-editor of two recent highly acclaimed textbooks on blood substitutes (Nanobiotherapeutic Based Blood Substitutes [Regenerative Medicine, Artificial Cells and Nanomedicine-Vol 6], Edited by TMS Chang, L Bulow, JS Jahr, H Sakai, CM Yang.
