Artificial Blood Institute in Boston
Welcome to the Artificial Blood Institute
Welcome to the Artificial Blood Institute, where pioneering research meets groundbreaking solutions in the field of transfusion medicine. At our institute, we are dedicated to the development of a safe and effective artificial blood composition for human transfusion. This vital initiative is designed to address critical shortages and limitations associated with allogenic blood transfusions, including compatibility issues, risk of infection, and storage challenges.
Our mission is to create a universally compatible blood substitute that is free from pathogens, capable of long-term storage, and able to efficiently transport oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body. We aspire to provide a dependable alternative that supports not only oxygen transport but also enhances coagulation and immune system functions, which are crucial components of natural blood.
Working to End Blood Shortages
Every year, millions of individuals require blood transfusions due to accidents, surgeries, and conditions that cause significant blood loss. The availability of safe, compatible blood is often a limiting factor in timely medical treatment. Traditional blood supplies are also hampered by short shelf-lives and stringent storage requirements. Our focus on artificial blood aims to overcome these barriers, offering hope for improved patient outcomes in critical care scenarios worldwide.
The Critical Demand for Blood
33%
33% of Americans will require a lifesaving blood transfusion during their lifetime.
4.5 Million
Over 4.5 million Americans receive blood transfusions every year.
42 Days
The shelf life of human blood is limited to only 42 days, calling for an alternative.

Financial assistance and access to our intellectual property through royalty-free licensing are available to researchers who can advance this concept into a practical solution. Our goal is to foster a collaborative environment where scientific breakthroughs are achieved collectively.
Unraveling the Potential of Artificial Blood
At the Artificial Blood Institute, we are not just creating a product; we are pioneering a new frontier in medical science. Artificial blood represents more than a medical substitute; it embodies the convergence of biotechnology and medical necessity, aiming to fundamentally transform how critical care is delivered across the globe.
Artificial blood is designed to mimic the essential functions of human blood, primarily the transportation of oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body. While current technologies focus on utilizing hemoglobin-based solutions, these face significant challenges, including toxicity and limited functionality compared to natural blood. Our institute is exploring innovative ways to enhance hemoglobin's efficacy and safety, as well as investigating alternative oxygen carriers that could offer more stable and versatile solutions.
