Our Research Team

Our staff scientists and medical experts are instrumental to our research efforts. Their expertise ranges from microbiology to immunology, coagulation to cryopreservation, hematopathology to anesthesiology and much more. This core Canadian Blood Services Research and Education network is complemented by Canadian academics who receive funding from our competitive research and training programs and by our adjunct scientists.

Canadian Blood Services adjunct scientists are appointed for a 3-year term, renewable upon review of their research expertise and the needs of the organization. Calls for applications for appointment are made to meet emerging research needs. Canadian Blood Services adjunct scientists are eligible for Canadian Blood Services research funding through our research and training funding opportunities. Adjunct scientists also benefit from being members of our network of transfusion science and medicine experts.
