The University of Queensland and Lifeblood are partnering to investigate ways to increase the yield and lower the cost of laboratory-grown red blood cells. This advancement could potentially provide a stable blood supply for patients with extremely rare blood types, such as Joe Fa'agase and his family, who currently rely on limited donor availability.
A new research collaboration between the University of Queensland and Lifeblood will explore new manufacturing techniques for laboratory-grown blood to increase production and reduce costs.
If blood could be grown in labs efficiently and at scale, it could save lives by producing red blood cells for people with ultra-rare blood types. Lifeblood researcher Becky Griffiths hopes that within four years, they will be able to produce bigger yields of lab-grown blood at a reasonable cost that could then be tested in clinical trials.
