Research line 'Rare anemias and bone marrow failure'
Research line 'Rare anemias and bone marrow failure'
The research line 'rare anemias and bone marrow failure' is driven by both fundamental researchers in the Creveld-laboratory and clinical researchers in the Van Creveldkliniek. This offers us to apply this bench to bedside to a variety of diseases.

Research includes both studies that are initiated by our researchers and studies that are being performed on behalf of pharmaceutical companies. An overview of currently active studies at the Van Creveldkliniek is shown in the table below.
