About this trial

GR-Ex is a program labelled by Labex (Laboratory of Excellence) by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research. This program aims to develop the means to improve knowledge in the physiology and pathologies of erythropoiesis, red blood cells and iron metabolism, and to develop new therapeutic protocols capable of providing added value in terms of innovation.
