Description of Research

The NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) research group, led by Professor Willem H Ouwehand, is embedded in the Department of Haematology at the University of Cambridge. As chair of the Blood transfusion Genomics Consortium he supports a translational research programme which aims to introduce affordable array-based genotyping for blood cell antigens into routine healthcare, not only in the UK but also in other countries participating in the consortium  (www.bgc.io). Willem also provides support for the BloodCounts! project (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO61dLWvpN0) which applies machine learning and artificial intelligence to the high-dimensional data generated during the routine full blood count test. His research on rare inherited bleeding, thrombotic and platelet (BPD) disorders is focussed on the role of rare coding and regulatory variants in BPD genes.
