Life and Science With Dr. Matthew Platz
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: ABSTRACT In life, there are relationships that expand our minds and enhance our thinking in our profession. There are mentors who guide us through difficult problem‐solving exercises in our profession and those who help us through those situations in life issues in general. Matthew Platz is the kind of person who has walked me through the science of photochemical reactions and also helped me to better understand the role of science and scientists in the world. Our decades long collaboration has led to multiple innovations in the use of chemistry to prevent transfusion transmitted diseases, with a global impact on blood safety and availability.
