Transfusional Medicine

We are dedicated to investigate transfusional activity, the alteration of erythrocytes during the conservation period and extracorporeal photoapheresis. We work on the molecular and serological characterization of blood group variants. In non-invasive fetal genotyping strategies due to blood group incompatibilities. We develop iPSC lines and produce in vitro erythrocytes with rare phenotypes.

We deepen in the knowledge of epidemiology and the detection of infectious agents relevant for safety of the products supplied by the Blood and Tissue Bank.

We investigate in clinical immunology and develop our own HLA and KIR typing protocols. We develop and incorporate new therapeutic applications in cell therapy including hematopoietic transplantation, cellular immunology and regenerative medicine.

We investigate the molecular mechanisms and genotype-phenotype correlation of coagulopathies, haemorrhagic diathesis and other associated congenital pathologies. We develop tools based on the new technologies of parallel massive sequencing with application to the molecular study, genetic counselling and prenatal diagnosis.
