ATP Center Research Program

Our research program involves basic research, translational research and clinical research in several areas. In addition, epidemiologic research into the causes of transfusion as well as evidence-based research is done. The research mission of the Center is as follows:

to design and implement studies on non-blood-based blood substitutes and strategies to maintain tissue oxygenation
to develop new approaches for achieving hemostasis in bleeding disorders
to study the mechanisms of hematologic disorders, now currently treated by transfusions, so that one may develop therapeutic approaches that prevent transfusion
to conduct evidence-based and outcomes research on alternatives to blood transfusion therapy
to formulate innovative clinical trials that lead to the prevention of blood transfusions
