Unique knowledge about blood
Approximately 200 researchers are working daily to study blood and blood-related diseases, and to develop new medicines and blood products for patients worldwide

Research which allows us to achieve our goals
Sanquin Research Fund raises money for life-saving research into blood and blood diseases. That research focuses on four research areas: saving lives with Big Data, growing blood in the lab, repairing your own blood cells and curing cancer with blood
