Building a bridge between animal models of blood transfusion and clinical practice: Development of sheep laboratory models to investigate the effects of transfusion [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Ms Gabriela Simonova (Principal investigator)

Brief description This research project aims to develop clinically-relevant sheep laboratory models of transfusion that will provide a ‘bridge’ between human laboratory and sheep in vivo models and clinical setting by contributing to a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of transfusion with stored blood products. Ultimately, addressing key knowledge gaps regarding transfusion of aged and cryopreserved blood products will result in improved outcomes for patients.
