The ESPR Circulation, Haematology and Oxygen Transport Section

Welcome to the Circulation, Haematology and Oxygen Transport Section of the European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR)

• Our objectives

  The aim of the section is to promote research and to provide best-evidence guidelines or recommendations in the fields of circulation, oxygen transport and haematology.
  This is achieved by encouraging exchange of ideas and discussions amongst researchers and experts in the field, through organisation of parallel sessions, workshops and courses during annual ESPR conferences (EAPS & jENS), as well as by bringing individuals together in special interest groups and a virtual research community.
