Yale Cooperative Center of Excellence in Hematology (YCCEH)

The purpose of the Yale Cooperative Center of Excellence in Hematology is to enhance research in blood diseases by facilitating synergy between many different scientists both within Yale and at multiple academic institutions across the country.

The Center helps these scientists by providing access to and training in state-of-the-art technologies via 3 Technology Cores, Pilot and Feasibility Funding, and an Enrichment Program. Our unique focus is the application of emerging technologies to better understand blood diseases. The center plays a key role in the integrated program of blood disease research supported by other Cooperative Hematology Specialized Core Centers by providing opportunities to increase interactions and collaborations.
