Our Research
Sanquin Blood Supply Foundation is an independent not-for-profit organisation that supplies life-saving blood cells and blood products to patients in the Netherlands. In our research we focus on patient, product and donor. We optimize therapies of patients who are treated with blood products. We improve existing and develop new blood products. We contribute to a healthy and representative donor population.
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

Donor Studies
In the Netherlands, a very loyal donor population—about 2.5% of the Dutch population—makes approximately 800,000 donations each year. Our behavioral and health scientists conduct research into donor behavior.
For professionals
With high-quality blood products, expert advice, and in-depth knowledge, we support professionals in their work. From a swift diagnosis to effective therapy – together, we strive for the best possible care.
