Peter, 

I wanted to congratulate you again on being awarded the impressive RSNA seed grant for genomic analysis of thrombus in the context of DVT/PE and gene therapy to address chronic post-thrombotic changes! 

This is an amazing and ambitious project, richly-deserving of the funding you have been awarded. Kudos and go team!!
