Quick peek at the 2nd deck concrete pour of the VBRI expansion! From groundbreaking 11 months ago to this milestone! We're building the future of blood health research day by day. #PublicHealth #BloodHealth

The Kastrup Lab @ VBRI recently published a technique that may prevent dangerous blood clots after trauma without stopping normal healing. The targeted siRNA therapy keeps clotting proteins in the safe zone in the murine model. Learn more: journals.lww.com/jtrauma/abst...

We're proud to stand with our colleagues at @ash.hematology.org and the #Fight4Hematology campaign. Supporting emerging researchers and innovative care approaches strengthens our entire field's capacity to transform lives. Learn more and get involved: www.hematology.org/advocacy/fig...
