Stanford Blood Center leads the fields of transfusion and transplantation medicine by advancing science and technology. We provide hope for the future by teaching the medical leaders of tomorrow. We enhance lives by connecting donors to patients every day.
Stanford Blood Center was created within the Department of Pathology at Stanford University School of Medicine in 1978. The Blood Center was created to meet the increasingly large and complex transfusion needs of Stanford Health Care and Lucile Salter Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford, and to perform research and teaching.
As an academic blood center, we were able to match the resources of a world-class university with the operational demands of a rapidly growing, innovative health care system. Our labs led the field in research and testing services, and our leadership were responsible for initiating many of the procedures and safeguards of the blood supply that are considered industry standards today. As transplantation medicine began to evolve, our HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) Lab pioneered numerous transplant monitoring and compatibility methods, and promoted cutting-edge technologies that have made precision heath care and advanced data gathering possible.
From the beginning, we have been out front on industry challenges by being ready with testing well in advance of a public health concern. Our mindset has always been one of prevention, preparedness and safety of the blood supply. As the needs of the transplant and transfusion industries have grown increasingly complex, and as our hospital partners have increased in scale and numbers, we have expanded to meet demand, while maintaining our dedication to the well-being of the community and patients we serve.
