Donated blood is life-saving therapeutics for civilian and military patients requiring transfusions. However, blood is a biological product and, as such, "what's in a blood bag" (borrowing lingo from the recent NHLBI state of science in transfusion medicine - Custer et al. Transfusion 2023; doi: 10.1111/trf.17296) is affected by donor biology, genetics and non-genetic factors. Such factors include donor age, sex, body mass index, or exposures - including dietary or other habits (e.g., smoking), drugs that are not ground for blood donor deferral. All these factors contribute to the molecular heterogeneity of a blood unit, storage quality and transfusion efficacy. In this session, speakers will discuss these factors and their relevance in the economy of storage quality, transfusion efficacy and the design, development and testing of novel strategies to improve the quality or extend the shelf-life of stored blood products.

Learning Objectives:

  • Appreciate the genetic, biological or exposome contributors to the heterogeneity of stored blood products
  • Understand how high-throughput screening tools can drive the development and testing of novel storage strategies or solutions
