National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Blood and Transplant Research Units (BTRUs) are research partnerships between universities and NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT). Multidisciplinary centres of excellence, BTRUs support the needs NHSBT for research to improve the supply of blood, blood products, stem cells and tissues and organs for transplantation.
The NIHR BTRU in Stem Cells and Immunotherapies is an inter-disciplinary partnership between University College London (UCL), King's College London, Queen Mary University of London and NHS Blood and Transplant.
The aim of the unit is to translate scientific advances in epigenetic profiling, molecular engineering and cellular immunotherapies to optimise the selection of blood donors and to develop new and improved treatment opportunities relating to haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and immune therapies.
