Their publication record features several recent papers, among them:

  • "An agnostic study of associations between ABO and RhD blood group and phenome-wide disease risk," 2021, published in eLife
  • "Disruption of the tumour-associated EMP3 enhances erythroid proliferation and causes the MAM-negative phenotype," 2020, in Nature Communications
  • "International Society of Blood Transfusion Working Party on Red Cell Immunogenetics and Blood Group Terminology Report of Basel and three virtual business meetings: Update on blood group systems," 2022, in Vox Sanguinis
  • "Human radical scavenger α1-microglobulin protects against hemolysis in vitro and α1-microglobulin knockout mice exhibit a macrocytic anemia phenotype," 2020, in Free Radical Biology and Medicine
  • "Recommendation for validation and quality assurance of non-invasive prenatal testing for foetal blood groups and implications for IVD risk classification according to EU regulations," 2021, in Vox Sanguinis

The venues that frequently publish their work include Transfusion, Vox Sanguinis, arXiv (Cornell University), Nature Communications, and Immunohematology. These publication venues reflect focused contributions to hematology and transfusion science communities.
