Pascal Amireault
France
Doctor Pascal Amireault obtained a PhD in Biomedical Sciences from Université de Montréal in 2005. He is currently a permanent full-time research scientist for INSERM and Associate Director of the “Tissue Biology of Red Blood Cells” laboratory at Necker hospital in Paris.
His main research interest seeks to understand the red cell in vitro aging process during blood bank storage and its impact on the red cell post-transfusion fate in the recipient, including the identification of mechanisms determining red cell clearance by the spleen.
