Funded Activity Summary

Too few blood platelets leads to fatal haemorrhage, and patients with low platelet counts require transfusions to prevent bleeding. We have recently discovered the key to keeping platelets alive, and now propose the critical experiments which will teach us how to manipulate it and allow platelets to live longer. Our team leads the world in this field. If successful we expect to improve blood bank platelet storage, and boost the supply of platelets available to patients in need of transfusion.
