Innovation
Leveraging the power of research

One of the founding principles of Canadian Blood Services is a commitment to leading and fostering research. Our Centre for Innovation focuses on three areas: discovery research; knowledge mobilization and strategic alliances; and product and process development. This last area is a priority of our strategic plan, as our researchers work with scientific and medical partners to bring products and services from the laboratory bench to patients’ bedsides.
