EFS Auvergne Rhône Alpes

EFS's primary mission and constant challenge is to meet the quantity and quality required by a million patients. Over 3.2 million donations must be collected each year in safe conditions for both donors and receivers. EFS Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes is implementing a policy of research, innovation, training, knowledge dissemination, and technology transfer and development. Research and innovation are now fully incorporated into the organisation’s missions and are treated with priority, which will guarantee the future of a discipline specific to EFS: transfusion medicine. EFS Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes research teams cover an extensive range of research areas: public health, infectious diseases and microbiology, immunology, regenerative medicine and Transplantation. Research teams within EFS Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes apply a fundamental approach within the context of medical practice which will directly benefit from a transfer to applied research, which also covers clinical research.
