Translational Haematology

Our Translational Hematology group was created with the aim of generating knowledge in the field of hematology and collaborating with other groups for the implementation of projects. Our activity is based on a broad portfolio of clinical trials, basic research projects and registry studies. The area of ​​knowledge in which we focus is the study of the immune system and its relationship with oncohematological diseases and their infectious complications, cell therapy, study of the adverse effects of drugs and optimization in obtaining and using blood components in Transfusion Therapy.
