Basic & Translational Research

Basic & Translational Research

Not every discovery happens in the clinic-many begin in the lab. At the CU Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center, our Basic and Translational Research Program studies how blood clots form and why bleeding or clotting problems occur. “Translational” means we work to turn what we learn in the lab into better care for patients as quickly as possible.

Our research team includes doctors, scientists, and engineers who work together to answer questions about how the body controls bleeding and clotting. Inside our laboratories, we study donated blood samples from patients to look for the biological and genetic factors that influence how blood behaves. These samples form a one-of-a-kind resource that helps us and other researchers across the country find new ways to diagnose, predict, and treat bleeding and clotting disorders.
