Description
BCMD is interested in contributions in basic, translational and clinical research focusing on the biology of blood cells and the pathophysiology of blood disorders, with a specific interest in non-malignant conditions. We will consider studies on hematological malignancies when secondary to inherited or acquired bone marrow failure or disorders of the immune system. Research Areas include: Erythropoiesis, Erythrocyte Biology, Hemoglobin and its disorders Myelopoiesis, myeloid cells and disorders of the myeloid lineage (incl. myeloproliferative disorders) Megakaryopoiesis and platelet disorders Hemostasis & Thrombosis and disorders of coagulation Transfusion medicine and the study of therapeutic blood products (including novel biotechnologies related to transfusion products) Bone marrow failure (severe aplastic anemia, myelodysplasia, etc.) Immunodeficiency and dysregulation of the immune system Auto-immune disorders relating to blood
