About
The National Platelet Research and Referral Centre (NPRC) seeks to improve our understanding of platelet disorders and identify the most
effective treatment options. The range of platelet disorders includes those resulting in low platelet numbers and bleeding related to platelet dysfunction. In doing so we aim to help people living with these diseases by providing a more comprehensive diagnosis and a 'personalised' treatment program specific for their condition.
Our vision
is to improve the understanding of, treatment for, and quality of life for individuals with platelet disorders.
Our mission
To undertake a systematic and comprehensive approach to better classify platelet disorders through research that combines novel and established scientific methods with extensive clinical data collection. Using this approach, we aim to unravel the distinct mechanisms of disease in each patient and provide improved treatment choices that will increase the likelihood of a cure.
Our values
Determination to improve treatment outcomes for affected individuals
Inclusion of experts in the field across Australia to increase the likelihood of successful outcomes
Vision across scientific and clinical arenas with novel lines of enquiry
