About us
We have expertise in transfusion medicine, haematology, epidemiology and registry science, and we lead national and international clinical registries, clinical trials, health economics analysis and systematic reviews across a range of areas.
The Transfusion Research Unit (TRU) was established in 2008. Our internationally recognised research and educational activities include:
- clinical quality registries
- clinical trials and cohort studies
- health economics analyses
- systematic review and other projects
- biobanking for correlative studies
- educational programs and training, including postgraduate degree studies
We work closely with clinical leaders and organisations to collect and analyse data about conditions requiring major and/or complex transfusion support, and in a range of blood disorders, including haematological malignancies and bone marrow failure syndromes.
