Blood Cells, Molecules and Diseases

Blood Cells, Molecules, and Diseases (BCMD) is interested in basic, translational, and clinical Hematology research focusing on the biology of blood cells and the pathophysiology of blood disorders, with a specific interest in non-malignant conditions.

BCMD 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
