Dr. E Harris

Biography

E. John Harris Jr. is a Professor of Surgery (Vascular), Emeritus at Stanford University. He holds an MD from Saint Louis University, obtained in 1985. Dr. Harris has made significant contributions to the field of vascular surgery, particularly focusing on thrombosis and its effects on the venous wall. His research interests include examining how thrombin and biologically active thrombus may stimulate changes in the venous wall morphology, leading to chronic conditions such as venous wall thickening. He has conducted studies using models of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in rats and has also explored similar conditions in mice, involving transgenic and knockout variants. Dr. Harris is interested in the development of novel approaches to prevent chronic venous wall thickening and is involved in non-invasive vascular imaging techniques. Furthermore, he is currently working on projects that employ 3-D color Duplex ultrasound to evaluate blood flow during moderate exercise, utilizing real-time MRI software for analysis. His engaged role in vascular imaging methods reflects his dedication to advancing clinical outcomes in patients suffering from vascular insufficiencies.
