Abstract: Amongst the presentations featured at Scotblood 2011 were advances in diagnostic tests for antibodies to red blood cells, the establishment of an islet isolation laboratory, and the development of a clinical product for corneal stem cell transplantation. In addition, the conference comprised presentations on state-of-the-art in collection, storage, and clinical utility of haemopoietic progenitor cells. It also included a session on blood banking systems dedicated to an SNBTS colleague, the late Russell Graham. Finally, the keynote lecture was delivered by Prof. John Forsythe on behalf of the Safety of Blood, Tissues and Organs (SaBTO) members, while the Iain Cook Memorial Lecture was delivered by the recently retired SNBTS R&D director, Prof. Chris Prowse.<br /> (Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
