Research we support
One of the cornerstones of our ‘vision to cure’ has been the dedicated research grants we have provided for more than 30 years.
We are the only dedicated funder of haematology research. To date, LBC has funded more than $2 million in research into blood cancers and related conditions.
Our involvement in research will ultimately lead to benefits and improved outcomes for New Zealand patients. There are also many indirect benefits, including the education of medical and nursing staff looking after patients with blood disorders, support of the haematology research environment, retention of scientist and clinicians in New Zealand, and the encouragement of young scientists and clinicians to consider a career in haematology and haematology research.
