Ph.D. in Immunohematology and Blood Transfusion is a 3-5 year research program that focuses on the science of blood transfusion, blood group systems, and immunological responses to transfusion therapy. The program combines immunology, hematology, molecular biology, and clinical laboratory science to cover issues such as blood compatibility, transfusion medicine, hemolytic responses, and blood bank management. Students perform research into safer transfusion techniques, advances in blood component therapy, and the genetics of blood group antigens. Graduates can work in academic research, blood banks, clinical laboratories, or the biotechnology business, helping to develop transfusion medicine and blood safety.
