What We Do

Red Cell


The Red Cell SIG aims to provide an annual UK forum for, and to promote interest in, all aspects of red blood cell research. It encompasses erythropoiesis and maturation of red cells, red cell shape and mechanics in health and disease, and the structure and function of all the proteins of the red cell as revealed by their serology, molecular genetics and biochemistry. The Red Cell SIG aims to attract an audience and participants both from within the BBTS and from the wider scientific community. Meetings are advertised through the BBTS website and newsletter and through direct e-mail to anyone who would like to be included in our contact list.
