Research is in our blood

Sanquin Research Fund collects money voor life saving bloodresearch. Research that focuses on four research areas: saving lives with Big Data, cultivating blood in the lab, repairing your own blood cells and curing cancer with blood.

Our dreams​

Saving lives with Big Data

Saving lives with Big Data

Large-scale analysis of blood enables us to identify new or emerging diseases at an early stage, take action quickly and avoid expensive treatments or extra pressure on healthcare.

Customized blood for everyone

Customized blood for everyone

Patients who regularly need blood transfusions risk the blood will be rejected by the immune system. We succeeded in culturing blood in the lab that is no longer different from their own blood.

Curing people indefinitely

Curing people indefinitely

Some patients suffer from a hereditary condition that seriously disrupts the production of blood cells. We are developing technologies that can repair genetic defects in bloodforming stem cells.

Treat cancer with blood

Treat cancer with blood

By growing immune cells in the lab and then injecting them into the patient, in some of the cases a tumor can disappear with a hitherto untreatable form of cancer.
