- Bloodless Medicine Research - "Bloodless medicine" is a modern field of research which studies the available strategies for providing medical care without allogeneic transfusions. In most cases this is undertaken because of religious convictions, but not always. Any technological improvement, as well as any therapeutic strategy, that permit the avoidance of the allogeneic blood, have to be carefully followed in the universities. Our site propose to coordinate research in this field.
