Opportunity Description
Summary of Post
s Applications are invited for three Post Doctoral Fellow positions on a prestigious new Strategic Partnership program that is co-funded by the Irish Blood Transfusion Service (IBTS) and Research Ireland entitled ‘The Irish ABO and Coagulation (iABC) Strategic Partnership’. This programme will define the biological mechanisms through which ABO blood group influences blood coagulation and thrombosis. Although ABO blood group has been known to affect the risks of bleeding and thrombosis for many years, critically the mechanisms underpinning this relationship remain poorly understood. By bringing together investigators from leading haemostasis research groups in RCSI and blood transfusion medicine experts from the IBTS, the iABC Strategic Partnership will adopt a unique state-of-the-art research programme to characterize the biological mechanisms through which ABO blood group influences blood coagulation. The programme will therefore address clinically important res...
