Sara’s research focus is the study of erythropoiesis (the process of how blood cells develop and grow) to develop new biological products to meet Australia’s transfusion needs. She particularly focuses on the use of cord blood to make new blood products for neonates. She also partnered with several hospitals across Australia to investigate the use of paediatric PRBC in NICUs and to work toward an improvement of neonatal transfusions practices.
Sara has a PhD in Experimental Medicine and Oncology from the University of Insubria (Italy) and has 15 years of experience in cell biology and in the development of new therapeutics across academia and industry.
