BSRI has, since inception, been firmly committed to the advanced training of young scientists in the areas of transfusion medicine, infectious disease and cellular therapies.

A number of features make BSRI a unique place to receive training:

• BSRI is one of only four significant blood bank-sponsored research programs in the U.S.  BSRI is the leading program in the U.S. and perhaps the world with respect to transfusion transmitted-infectious diseases, and is at the fore-front of several other areas of transfusion medicine research.
• Investigators do research full-time allowing the training to come primarily from the direct conduct of research in collaboration with other investigators.
• Our affiliation with the University of California San Francisco allows post-doctoral trainees to take advantage of many didactic and other training opportunities often not possible at a small independent research institute.

Lab Investigators with openings recruit post-doctoral trainees directly. These positions are fully supported by externally- and internally-funded research grants.
